There is a trial version of q (a newer k variant) at the Kx website, and a couple of us are also working on Kona, an ISC-licensed k-like language, at http://github.com/kevinlawler/kona http://github.com/kevinlawler/kona .

There is some documentation for Kona on its github wiki page, and Hakan has an extensive set of k resources at http://www.hakank.org/k/ http://www.hakank.org/k/.
