Robert,
       I don't see anything on their site.  They've been very vocal on
       their newsgroup about open-sourcing it. I've also spoken with
       some of their folks in person who have assured me it will be.

       Unfortunately at the moment their newsgroups are password
       protected....

       Last I remember, it was expected to occur before years end.
Chris
