There is no single answer -- we use open source as a business strategy,
not as a checkbox or edict. For this product, open source is an option
going down the road, but not a priority. Will our software be open
sourced in the fullness of time? My Magic 8-Ball tells me "signs
point to yes" (or is that "ask again later"?) -- but it's certainly
not something that we have concrete plans for at the moment...
