Yes. I base my belief on the belief that W3C makes a commitment to release  
its software under its open source license. I am starting to wonder if  
that is actually true - they clearly do it for some things, but in other  
cases don't seem to bother even providing access to the code - although a  
lot of stuff is available somewhere in their public CVS tree on dev.w3.org  
if you know where to look.
