Stangely, there isn't any pointer to the actual source from that page! If it is really open source, no string attached, why can't developer download a snapshot of the source from them right then and now? Why the wait till some time in "the first part of 2000..." I think I can smell some fish here.

Have to give them a small credit in at least trying this though. We just have to wait an see the rest of the story when the source is released.
