Open sourcing the server side of Second Life

I saw this article mentioned on /. tonight: Inside Second Life's Data Centers

And, contrary to widespread belief among Second Life users, Linden Lab has not decided whether to open-source the Second Life server software.

I sat in a meeting with a Linden employee just two weeks ago and he minced no words about their plans to open-source the server side of Second Life. He said it so strongly that in regard to this Information Week article--I have to call bullshit.
