From the site you reference it doesn't appear that Be is going to
release source code; they're just allowing personal noncommercial use at
no charge. This is similar to what Corel did with WordPerfect for Linux.

For general discussion of industry implications of open source
(including open source business models) you should subscribe to the
"Free Software Business" (FSB) mailing list:

  http://www.crynwr.com/fsb/

For discussions specifically about licenses you should subscribe to the
"license-discuss" mailing list:

  mailto:license-discuss-subscribe@opensource.org
