the difinition of open source implies (demands) more than making the source code available?

Yes.

Essentially, you have to provide the source, and also allow people to make & distribute derived works based on it. This CC-NC-BY licence does not allow you to distribute derived works for commercial purposes. Lots of companies use open source software in commercial purposes.
