The framework is open source, but the code itself wouldn’t appear to be – and since the code is not distributed, it doesn’t have to be. Therefore, the right answer is that the project itself is not open source but is built upon open source – which is really not a problem. It’s just a difficult question to answer due to the different contexts in which the phrase ‘open source’ is (ab)used.

That said, I signed up and will be poking around. I don’t have a book reader – they haven’t come down in price enough for me to take them seriously – but I do have a PC. And PCs are pretty good for this sort of thing. 😉
