SproutLiner was designed and built one weekend when I was supposed to be doing something else for someone else. Like many of my projects, it was just an idea that I had to get out of my system.
Unfortunately, that mentality (and my schedule) doesn't lend itself towards constant maintenance of the software, so I've released everything under the CC-GPL licence. Partly this is to allow people to deploy SproutLiner on intranets and so on, and secondly it's to ensure that SproutLiner doesn't die a slow death because I keep kidding myself and my users that I'll find consistent blocks of time to update it.
So without further ado, if it tickles your fancy, please head to the currently rather plain SproutLiner Source page.
For much the same reason, I'm aiming to soon release Freelook in the same way.
UPDATE: It should be noted that the backend code (PHP) is tiny compared to the frontend code (JS) and is mostly just a bunch of SQL queries, so Sproutliner could be ported to other platforms quite easily, and I suppose it wouldn't be hard at all to make a standalone Python version if you used something like GadFly or SnakeSQL.
