So they say it's open source, but there is no link we the source is hosted and how it is actually "verified by the community". In addition it feels somehow weird that they have a free community version and a pro version that has more features and non-open source code. So if I would choose the pro version for features I'm still on the dark side of the moon when it comes to trusting their source code...

edit: I found the source on github, but still missing the relation between pro and community...

I was also alarmed by the fact that they do not have a link to their source code on their website. I did some searching and found that they host their code publicly on Google Code [1]. They really should place a link to their source on their website. I was really confused when I clicked the "Open Source Edition" button only to be presented with binaries.

Accidentally found it by wandering around the Chinese version of the site: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile
The link to Github repo is under the "self-hosted server" section in the home page.
