Apologies.. I didn't really expect anyone to know about it.  To me the 
best way to describe it is similar to gdb, but much cleaner codebase.

We're announcing this under a few assumptions

#1 It's going to be relicensed to something BSD community finds 
acceptable. .(not GPL anything)
#2 It's going to be ported BSD
#3 It'll end up in ports
#4 We'll take feedback for features like how to implement kernel level 
debugging and see if we can help with it

I hope this helps clarify a little..

Thanks
