The only way this software even remotely makes sense is as a self-hosted open source product. Why is this closed source?

  I have to agree with this.

    Neither does an obviously flawed business model. I can't imagine ever wanting to use this as-is. Horribly insecure. If it was self hosted and open there'd at least be the tiny chance of a support contract.

    The truly evil business model would be to offer this as a free service. The company would be set up for a very profitable acquisition just by their placement in their customer's data streams.
