Steve Gibson of GRC/Security Now has mentioned (if I remember correctly,) that the protocol/spec will be published, or at least shared with people who have an interest.

That's better than nothing, I suppose, but unless the source is open it's still impossible to trust the proprietary binary.

If the protocol is published properly you won't have to: people will write their own free software implementations.

If the spec is published it should be a lot easier to build an open source client.
