It was open-sourced back in 2012 at the same time ManifoldCF was
open-sourced.  It was written by a contractor paid by MetaCarta, who also
paid for the development of ManifoldCF itself (I developed that).  It was
spun off as open source when MetaCarta was bought by Nokia who had no
interest in the framework or the connectors.

I do not, off the top of my head, remember the contractor's name nor have
his contact information any longer.

There are many users of the Documentum Connector, however, and I would hope
one of them with more DQL experience will respond.
