This is a very solid alternative to Google's keyboard, the only issue is that it's not European.

As with other FUTO services, FUTO Keyboard is source available, not open source.

Yep, I just read their explanation on that, doesn't sound unreasonable to me..

Whether their reasons are reasonable or not, it's not open source. FUTO minimizes the difference between the two, having originally sought to make their own definition of open source before qualifying it with the term 'source first' (i.e. source available).
