That's right, codeBeamer MR is not open source.
More precisely: parts of the source code are actually open, including
the wiki plugins and the remote clients, for instance. The core source
is closed, because the same core is also used in our commercial offerings, and
our commercial license doesn't (currently) allow publishing the
complete code. We have quite some large customers from the defense space
that would not be happy if we opened everything ;)
We are currently in the midst of rethinking our licensing scheme
in general, to make things more liberal or to set up some kind of a
dual license.

Good point. More on this later.
