Unfortunately, it's not. We built it out of spare parts laying around, and I 
never found time to figure out the licensing on those. Another job for the 
copious spare time. :-)

I do plan to work on that project this summer after the Lisbon ARG meeting 
(it's tied into a long-running project to get the various servers off of 
Windows, to use more modern hardware and not cost $$$).
