Is the software that runs hacker news open source?

What runs Markenomics.com is certainly the same as what runs Hacker News. Is this open source?

Yes. It's distributed with ARC.

A bunch of the code that runs news.yc is not in the public version of news.arc.

Apparently at any one time some of it is not even serialized to disk -- just keyed into the live REPL by he himself.
