OpenCyc is the open source version of the Cyc technology, the world's largest and most complete general knowledge base and commonsense reasoning engine. OpenCyc can be used as the basis for a wide variety of intelligent applications. This is release 1.0 of OpenCyc featuring the complete Cyc ontology of over 260,000 terms and their definitional assertions numbering over 1.8 million. OpenCyc requires about 500MB of disk space and performs best with over 512 MB RAM. One GB of RAM is recommended for Cyc when accessed by Java applications.

A project can only be open or not open. No one can claim that a project is open and then, as a side note, state that the fundamental part is actually very closed and untouchable. Where is the need to make a fool of their proposed clients?
If their intention was to keep the Cyc engine closed and offer an open front-end then just say it. Now, trying to act as their proposed clients are stupid and not realize that the core of the program isn't open or even free (maybe when it is too late?)... That's just disonest.
