Sources for 4.2 are available (look in the kryoflux forum, I don't 
remember the exact location) and the licence is base on MAME's licence, 
allowing distribution for non profit and modifications as long as 
sources are provided.
So this is not as proprietary software as you describe it.

Sources for 5.1 are not available on their download page yet, but they 
were also posted in the kryoflux forum.
