* Takes open source to the next level: The open source code can be viewed, verified and compiled directly from the device itself.
This is not correct. Coldcard is not open source, but rather, it is "source verifiable".

You can see their license here: https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware/blob/master/COPYING-CC


License: MIT

CC 1.0 forbid to sell the software which makes it NOT open source.

Very reasonable that they forbid to sell purely  their  code, but they allow to use it in any other commercial product and sell  those products based on their software. Again, according to the   definition of  MIT-licence the software which is liable to it  is open source. I have never encountered the contradictions to this coming  from reputable sources.
