Yoggie has been around for a few years now, so what is this announcement about? Sources should have been available from the beginning, and while it never got much attention, some questions have been raised here and there:

http://lwn.net/Articles/241282/ "Nearly a month and a half has gone by since we looked at the Yoggie Pico laptop firewall. At the time, we promised an update on a request for information about the availability of source code for Linux and other GPL software. Unfortunately, after several email exchanges with the firm that does PR for Yoggie, the code is still unavailable. A release of code was promised for the end of June, but did not materialize."

True. But Yoggi is also releasing the source to it's own applications that it wrote. They didn't have to do that, so that is a nice gesture.
