Of course, indent itself is open source...
As open source projects go, indent is pretty dead.
indent's been looking hopelessly/helplessly for a new maintainer for a long time.
I think the last time Lindent as run over any bit of kernel code was when Linus made a mess of the reiserfs code.
It was setup reasonably well for 132 columns, but Lindent made it unreadable with all sorts of foo. bar [baz] = func( arg1, arg2); lines.
