    Does the license cover the actual application or the data developed

    where are the sources? I did a quick browse but found no download
    link and would be interested to check it out.

--> The CC license is for the content only, since we need an open 
framework for soliciting contributions and re-releasing OWL serializations.

--> As for the platform: In principle, releasing the source code is no 
problem and we are considering this. The main problem is that we want to 
create and maintain a central starting point and namespace for the lots 
of concept definitions in the Web that have no real home - having dozens 
of myOntology installations around may collide with this aim. Also, some 
of our commercial partners have exploitation plans based on value-added 
services. This must remain possible as well. In a nutshell, the release 
of the source code to the general public is an open issue and will 
likely decided only by the end of the official project in Spring 2009.
