Yep, it's opened source.   I'm not sure how active the development is.  I know
Ryan Fantus  has been busy in a move to the West Coast and now is getting
deployed back to Afghanistan for work. 

Once I get everything up on a repository again it will be open for everyone
interested in merging any changes back.  I also tend to rewrite stuff I use in
more G++ style whereas Daydream is solid in GCC.  So they would need to do a
little work to merge my changes back.  

I'll probably even rewrite more to C++ types as time goes on, as I've been
moving away from C style more and more as go.   I've just started using C++x0
in some new code and functions.  I'll wait for some of the latest C++11 types
as some of the default compilers are not that far yet in support.

I like Draydream alot, it's been a good refernce for things suych as multinode
pipes and node messages.  I've contributed before with a nice pipe code
functions for displaying colors in the message reader from users signatures. 
I want to rewrite a few of it's functions myself like the default of using \r
only for new lines which really needs to be \r\n casue then it doesn't look
right on just about all windows clients that are not Syncterm! heh
