Not free (or "open source") from what I can tell.

  COPYRIGHTED AND PATENTED PENDING BY WHAT.CD INCORPORATED, 
  DBA/AKA PROJECT GAZELLE

Which is a bit confusing, but then later:

  FOR NONCOMMERCIAL PURPOSES ONLY

You can view a mirror of the original release here: https://code.google.com/p/gazellewhatcd/

That isn't the GPLv3. That isn't even a free software license (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), since they only grant a license "FOR NONCOMMERCIAL PURPOSES".

I find it repulsive that a torrent tracker is released under a restrictive license with Copyrights and Patents.
