While code available is nice, it's sadly not really sufficient to make this relevant for the activist world. Non-multiplatform tools aren't a replacement for Truecrypt, and having to pay for licenses makes your tool completely inaccessible to most folks in authoritarian regimes or in the majority world who may actually need it. Furthermore, when dealing with the exigencies of security in the field, having to deal with license keys at all imposes a serious overhead to expedient solutions in emergencies. And finally, the least useful part of Truecrypt is the deniability. There are very good reasons why tools that attempt to provide deniability may actually significantly harm field outcomes, something which developers seem to not understand. (Also, it's bloody hard to get right, and almost everyone fails, although I haven't looked at this solution in particular.)
