At present, the source is open but the development is not. We (GVC) are acting as gatekeepers to maintain the integrity of the design and source.
A wise move. Although fully open source is a great goal, the reality is that it's very risky if your business relies on the software moving in a certain direction. Open source communities have a way of taking sharp left turns, which go to very interesting places but not necessarily anywhere you needed to go for your business needs.
FYI, I have heard this referred to as "source available" rather than "open source".
