The code is on Jari's site. Not all of it, but he will give the rest to
anyone who requests it.
Some of us were kicking around the idea of pooling some money to pay
someone knowledgeable to port it over, but it's a losing proposition
for several reasons.
First of all, it will need maintenance. How will we keep paying for
that? A hundred bucks or so spread out among the members every time a
new version of Finale comes out? What happens if the supporters don't
upgrade right away? Would it be fair to to ask for more money if the
person isn't going to use the result?
Secondly, part of Jari's agreement to release the code is that other
people won't charge for it. So even if someone like Robert Patterson or
Tobias Geisen does it, they won't be able to distribute it even for the
tiny licence fee they normally charge for their plugins, and they get
saddled with all the administration duties with no remuneration in
sight. It's going to be hard to convince someone to do it, I think.
Unless MakeMusic takes it over?

I remember Jari mentioning that he intended to release the source
code, but I don't recall him ever actually announcing that the source
code was released.
However, I miss his plugins as well, and I hope that right after he
releases the code somebody knowledgeable will pick it up and adapt it.
