Has there been any kind of official response from Bittorrent about this?

Are they planning on open sourcing the code at a later date or have they simply kept quiet this whole time, hoping the issue will go away?

They yesterday claimed they would make it public once it was stable. http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/24050-i-apologize-ahead-of...

I doubt it. Bram saw Bittorrent get hugely successful but didn't see corresponding financial returns. He probably attributes that to being open source and trying to avoid it happening again.
