What do you mean "not free as in beer"? Its not free as in anything? Sandboxes need to be open source, nothing else is acceptable.

Why should they be open source?
Same reason linux or databases need to be open source. A sandbox is not a nice to have or a feature anymore, it is as fundamental building block to running any software. You cannot depend on closed source building blocks, not as closed source product and especially not as open source product.
