The real Portal is open source?

I was dissapointed when dropping the small portal through a larger one didn't lead to the destruction of the universe

I fail to see why this is so shocking. Every other Valve game has been open-source. Portal has so much potential for this sort of thing, I don't see how they COULDN'T do this!

Also worth thnking about: Portal guns in games like TF2.

I wonder how long it is before we see Portal on CFW PSP and modded Xboxes.

If portal was open source then we could use them in Garry's mod 9.

As it stands nope.

Read closer; it's not Valve's Portal that's open source.

It's a hobbyist coder making his own engine, called Portalized. I've seen earlier versions of it, it's pretty neat how he combines a packaged physics engine with some multiple-viewpoint rendering.
