Isn't barrier a fork of the original synergy2 as well? That went closed-source/commercial ?

I don't know if this is still the case, but for a while it was both commercial and open source. You could change the license check to just "return true" and compile it yourself to get things like the SSL plugin. IIRC there was also a comment that detailed the algorithm for generating keys, so you could come up with one in your own name.
