AFAICT, this is an extraction of the renderer from Chrome/Chromium wrapped up in an API for C/C++/.NET.

This has been packaged as SDKs for both Windows & Mac.

We did indeed use Chromium as a base but have implemented a great deal of extra modifications on top to make this the ideal solution for offscreen embedding. Significant portions of the renderer, plugin containers, and Javascript system had to be re-written.
How can you charge 5.9k for source code access if it's based on open source software?
