Ok as far as I know there has been no official declaration that they
are open-sourcing the RHN server. There have been a couple of articles
about them having to do so at some point.. but that is speculation of
the authors not an announcement.

The biggest reason that people were speculating about this was that
RHN had an 'open' satellite beta for 5.0 and that they were using yum
versus up2date. That and a wild speculation gets more page hits and
blog posts than getting definitive answers.
