    They also want you to think it's open source

    Clearly, they're shysters who engage in false advertising.

    yet they don't actually release much source code

    None at all for a very long time say my sources.

    Iron [thesimplecomputer.info]

    The original version of this article was written in December 2011 [Updated October 12, 2014]. At that time, Iron was on version 14 but the code available on SRWare's website was only for version 6, and evidently incomplete. This is despite Iron traditionally having been released under a BSD license. In 2013, Iron's source was moved to Rapidshare and blocked to outside access. There are no repositories on the usual project sites like GitHub or SourceForge, either. Thus in actuality, SRWare Iron is entirely closed source and has been since at least version 6.
