I get the impression that Active State is struggling to maintain market share in light of successful open source IDE projects, like Eclipse, so they're trying to get some of that open source "magic" by kinda-sorta open sourcing their product.

The initial open source code for Open Komodo will be a portion of ActiveState's Komodo Edit. The first tool the Open Komodo Project aims to create on the Open Komodo code base is a full-featured client-side web development tool. Currently codenamed Komodo Snapdragon, it will be integrated with Firefox and based on Komodo IDE, and developed in collaboration with the open source community. *********************** Komodo Edit and Komodo IDE *********************** The Open Komodo project is based on Komodo Edit, but not all of the features of Komodo Edit will open sourced. Komodo Edit will continue to be available as a free product from ActiveState, and Komodo IDE will continue to be ActiveState's advanced developer tool and fully-supported professional integrated development environment.
