Yes it is, but that doesn't make it open source -- http://rchi.raskincenter.org/index.php?title=Archy_FAQ#Is_Archy_open_source.3F <quote> No, it is not open source, under the accepted definition of "open source". It is, however "source available". Archy is distributed using the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 License. This means you can use the code for any non-commercial purpose, provided that you give credit to the Raskin Center for use of the code and that you distribute your code using the same license. </quote> Hmm, doesn't say anything about CC-No Derivatives, and if I'm not mistaken, the CC licenses by default do allow derivatives. Combining the ability to create derivative works with ShareAlike *might* make Archy's licensing close to the GPL, although the Attribution and NonCommercial is incompatible with the GPL. As an aside, I have in another tab a discussion about the CC and GPL -- http://www.linux.com/feature/119212 -- Daniel O.
