According to the press announcement, the source is going out under the GPL. They get the rights to see any new feature someone comes up with and can't limit use of the source. Should be free to use with the *BSD/Linux/etc. CDs. How they're going to deal with that and make the value added versions worth paying for and not GPL'ed is going to be interesting. -- Adam.
