Igelle - what is it?


Has anyone here heard of Igelle before?

http://www.igelle.com/

Do you know something about this project? Does it have a community?
Is it open source, is it free?

In short, what the Fu** is Igelle?!

If you know how to use a search engine and search for "Igelle Linux" you'll find it was considered unstable by their own developers in 2009, that at that time it had a small forum, that it isn't based on any other Linux distribution, that Distrowatch lists it as discontinued since the last nfo update in September 2010, that it uses a kind of EULA and that there are hints about possible violations of the GPL.

Fortunately I know how to use a SE, but I didn't find a community nor discussions about some licenses.

And I don't think it is discontinued, since they've a countdown on their websites for the first official release, which will be in 12 days now.
