Lack of sources is the same as being non-free in the DFSG sense.

    2.Source Code 

      The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
      source code as well as compiled form.

Since it doesn't meet this requirement, it is not free, even if you are
allowed to freely distribute the binaries.
