See www.borland.com/kylix for details, but quoting a Nov 13 article
refereneced on that page:

...CLX, the underlying component library, will be released under a
dual license, allowing open source developers to code under the GPL or
commercial developers to purchase a commercial license. 

also:

...earlier reports elsewhere that the Kylix IDE itself would be released as
open source software are flatly wrong.

I presume that means that whilst the Kylix IDE will not be open source, CLX 
will be.
