I don't have the expectation that Mammoth Replicator will ever be
open-sourced (this is my personal opinion; the company owner may
differ). And even if it were, I doubt it would serve as a basis for
whatever community effort to build a replication engine. I don't think
it's in anybody's best interest to base design decisions on Mammoth
Replicator "experience". The projects that are already open source are
in a much better standing for that (GORDA, Postgres-R, Slony, etc).
