Unfortunately the cloudflared software, while the source is available on GitHub, and there are pull requests open and accepted for it, is not under an open source license, and the license it is under does not allow modifications, so any modifications (including the aformentioned pull requests) are contrary to the license and thus copyright law and thus illegal. The issue I filed about this is still waiting for action since October 2021.

Thanks for pointing this out as it does appear even taking the source and applying a pull request ones self does break the license.

Just to clarify: many pull requests have been accepted and would thus from my perspective be covered by the license as having become part of the software.

Caveat: did not dig deeply enough to check if it's mostly Cloudflare employees developing publicly, etc.

Edit: worth mentioning here on HN customer support as well that 'opensource@cloudflare.com' is misconfigured.
