These are the criteria to judge (to be able to rank entries). 
I reckon being open source has always been a condition of entry. 
The condition applied to entries when they are submitted, so 
it does not prevent people for developing on their own 
before submitting.

I don't know if it is possible or desirable to push to 
being open before submitting. In any case, I don't think 
it's enforcable (if you put code in a public CVS repository, 
I don't think anybody is going to look at it anyway unless the 
project is otherwise publicised and organised).

Also I think it's relatively rare to get overlapping entries.
Well, last year they got three entries of fractals but that's 
very much the exception. The other duplicates I can think of 
were evolutions from course assignments from students from the 
same class, so were meant to be duplicates.
