You are supposed to be able to download the open source components here: http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_vs... but all I see is a license file - that does mention the 2.6 kernel and drivers.
Yeah, well, the RHEL stuff I assume is released; their own heavy enhancements, I don't know.
It doesn't matter if someone else released source. Anyone distributing binaries containing GPL code is supposed to also supply the matching source along with anything else that becomes part of a derived work.
IIRC, I don't *think* that if you take it and enhance it, you're required to release your commercial enhancements. For example, video drivers, proprietary.
