I can't speak from direct knowledge, but knowing that this is
Jacek Ambrosiak's project, that there's a lot of invested time
and effort, I'm guessing it might be distributed as a binary,
but I would seriously doubt they'd dump it into open source, or
even distribute the source. It's a possible money maker for Sun,
and in today's tighter times I don't think so many people are as
likely to be giving the show away as they were two years ago.    (03)
