I believe that I'm able to release the source, and I will be doing so  
just as soon as I get around to writing a blog post announcing it :-)

I haven't really had much to do with the jailbreak stuff so far,  
haven't found a need, I can see that if I tried releasing something  
through it that they might get sniffy about my official app store  
account, but if I release as open source then there should be nothing  
stopping someone else from doing it really.
