"As a special bonus, our copy of the GPL has been improved to refer to
our favorite operating system as "Linux" and our favorite method of
publishing software as "open source". Although we are big fans of open
source software, we are not fans of Richard Stallman and his far-left
communist tendencies to rename things."

https://www.citadel.org/what_source_code_license_do_you_use.html

"To begin with, go ahead and completely disregard the GNU coding
standards. Code written to those standards is almost as sloppy looking
as Richard Stallman himself. We prefer code written to the K&R style,
specifically the "1TBS" variant."

https://citadel.org/coding_style.html

"Our official position is that the phrase "GNU/Linux" is only used by
agitators like Richard Stallman who contribute little more than noise
and friction to the open source community."

They should think about all the GNU software that is being shipped with
most Linux systems.
For decades it wasn't that bad that somebody created a real alternative
that is widespread.

Which means they are violating the license's copyright.

Also, they claim to like open source but their program doesn't even work
with LibreJS enabled.
