The press release ought to have been clearer. It took me about a dozen
clicks from their press release to discover that the unspecified "Open
source license" they talk about is actually the GPL.

However, GPLing of formerly non-free software is always good.

On the other hand, the tarball download located another half-dozen
clicks away contains C files with no GPL blurb at the top, and no file
named COPYING in the tarball. On the other hand, there's also a SVN
download option which I have not tried, but it may be more explicitly
released.
