I don't understand what it means. It looks like a contradiction. Does it have a BSD-3 licence or not?
GitHub always been a platform for "We love to host FOSS but we won't be 100% FOSS ourselves", so makes sense they allow that kind of usage for others too.
I think what you want, is something like Codeberg instead, which is explicitly for FOSS and 100% FOSS themselves.

Imagine being like "the project is GPL - just the compiled machine code".
Right, I said nothing that contradicts that ("High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also ..."). High quality functional output is a necessary requirement, but it isn't sufficient to determine if code is high quality.
Imagine writing a very good program, running it through an obfuscator, and throwing away the original code. Is the obfuscated code "high quality code" now, because the output of the compilation still works as before?
Do you mean how well it was written, or do you mean how well it performs? Or do both matter? Equally, or one more/less than the other?
It probably depends on whether you're the developer taking over the codebase, or the customer running the code in production..
Take video games.. A lot of it is messy spaghetti C++ code, not modular or well structured, full of hacks and manual optimizations, to give the best possible performance on available hardware.
It might be impossible to parse or maintain, but it does the job about as well as possible, which is really all that matters to the end user. I would call that high quality code.
So again, subjective...
