Is XAMPP is open source?

If not, can anyone suggest one that is and works on windows and mac?

I realize the packages contained in the installers are open source, php, apache etc, I'm talking about the installer itself

On Linux (and Mac?) the "installer" is not an installer, its simply a tar file which must be unpacked into certain folders.

The Windows installer is not open source, but you may use the ZIP File instead (which is similar to a packed tar file) which is opensource as well (as there is no special "source" for installer).

The Installer that we use in XAMPP for Mac is not open source.

It comes from Apple and you can create your own "Installer Packages" with the Developer Tools from Apple...

I was referring to the scripts and configuration files used to assemble the installers, are they available as open source. i need to customize the installer and i'd like to contribute it back to others.

I found some source here
http://svn.xampp.org/trunk/
I do not see a license text file. There has been 82 commits, has this just been created?
