BBB is considered open source. Not sure if it qualifies for "Free Software" under FSF definition.
The components of BBB seem to all be open source, yes, but they use Adobe's Flash technology as the only component to access content offered by the product. So the users are forced to use Adobe's Flash viewer, which is closed source.
Correct me if there is a free or even an open source version of a flash viewer - I don't think there is. Hopefully there will never be, as HTML5 is the uprising star in active web contents in my eyes.
There is (was?) https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ But you are right, flash is almost dead.
