In short, and unofficially, yes. NewAtlanta released their J2EE version of BlueDragon as open-source (and released management of it back to the initial developers of BD's core engine), then discontinued BD Free. It's not a "replacement" per-se, but it can be used in a very similar way.
Without putting a negative connotation to it, OpenBD is indeed a different animal then BD Free was. OpenBD is not delivered as a standalone product like BD Free was - rather, it's meant to be used in conjunction with a J2EE server. If you're interested in a deployment that's similar to BD Free, check out this Linux installer: http://openbd.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/48/file/openbd_rhel.sh If you've installed BD Free on a RHEL (or CentOS) linux machine before, this installer functions VERY similarly to how BD Free did. It uses Tomcat as the J2EE server and comes with one caveat - you will need to tell Tomcat what sites you are hosting so that it knows how to process them. Although the documentation isn't entirely complete, this aspect of the installer is discussed in detail here: http://openbd.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/49/file/openbd_tomcat-apache_install-INCOMPLETE.pdf Hope this helps!
