They did not say "This game will be open source" (and remember, it's not open source unless it has an open source license), but still, this is great news.

EDIT: And a company blog entry with the same information:

Really nice, a new UT with Linux version, focused on PC, so no lame console port. Can't wait to see this in action.

Epic running out of money is not something I would think about, the Unreal Engine is one of the most successful engines in existence and used for a whole bunch of games (read: licensed to a large number of projects).
