Yes, it is part of the Mellon Foundation funded OpenSource initiative 
for higher education. License is new BSD.

Sophie works on unix/Linux, but we some features like native quicktime 
might not be supported. *ix platforms have also been a little lower on 
our priority list, so things like clipboard support are missing as well.

But we hope a lively developer community will gather around Sophie once 
it is released :-)
