Not yet. Their ultimate goal is to release it as open source, however, their investors are requiring 10000 users before they can release it as open source. I have heard they are trying to convince the investors to release it open source before then. Especially, since biicode can benefit from community support. Furthermore, if boost were to decide to use biicode, perhaps boost could use its weight to influence the decision to go open source.
I think it works the other way around - I wouldn't like if Boost core infrastructure depended on a proprietary component. Also, though judging by release notes the project exists for more than a year now, I couldn't find any license on the web site. All in all it feels like a green startup to me.
