     @benadida you say #google_wave is open source; I can't find any other mention of that. Is it in the video or something?

     @evan they mention it in the beginning of the video and at the end - it's also mentioned in one of the whitepapers

     @evan http://ur1.ca/4x97 [http://ur1.ca/4x97] about 1/5th down the page "we PLAN TO make the code open source" (emphasis mine)

     @evan Google says "the brunt" of it will be open source--whatever that means. http://ur1.ca/4x9m

     @evan yes, the mention of open-source is in the video. The modifier "lion's share" was used, maybe some backend scalability stuff won't be.

     @evan Does #waveprotocol #patent #license mean that the #protocol (not #googlewave) is #OSS? http://www.waveprotocol.org/patent-license

     @drsliu I don't think that "open source" is applicable to a protocol. I think they're using an "open source method" to develop the protocol.
