It's been available outside Goldman for a long time. Cantab Capital had based their systems on it as long ago as 2006. The founders were ex Goldman and wangled some kind of deal where they could use the GS systems.

IIRC from a conversation with an employee, the two were initially very close: I think the deal included something like CC co-locating servers in a GS datacenter as well as licensing its software, but both ended several years ago in anticipation of a change in regulation.
