What makes you think it isn't open-source? The source is freely available from the Mandrake-sources trees. I think the reason it may have less visibility in the Perl community has to do more with the fact that it isn't Perl. Not to denigrate OCAML (I don't know enough about it to make a judgement), but it seems that Perl developers tend to like using development tools written in Perl.
I know that's my preference, and for me it has largely to do with the potential need to modify the tools -- when I'm in "Perl mode", it would be far easier for me to make a tweak to a Perl-based tool than, say, a C-based tool.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
