Essentially, their product is a Z39.50 server connected to a mySQL database, and some web scripts, to run on NT. It looks about half done and they are looking for libraries to try it out and act as testbeds. (They say: "But its not "promiseware" or "visionware" but a system that needs time to grow.") There's not much detail there, but it looks like it is not free software. (Or rather, it is free as in "free beer", not free as in "free speech".) There's no mention of license, though they say that they "...do not charge anything for these software products and that we licence them as freeware to participants of the project." It doesn't sound free to me, but as I said, there's very little detail. At any rate, it sounds like it does the same things that Koha does, only Koha is already working, and available under the GPL.
