No, but a company paid a bounty for a leak in Rails, which is open source. Isn't that what this topic was about?

Well I think the source code is included (since it's Ruby, but encrypted) with the Github Enterprise image. But that's "source code available", not "open source" (ie, under a copyleft license)

It's proprietary. Also, there are many free software (or "open source" if you prefer) licenses that are not copyleft. MIT, Apache, Revised BSD, zlib, etc are all examples.

Encrypted with a widely known (people have blogged it) key.
