Rietveld is open source

 https://cloud.google.com/appengine/articles/rietveld

that said, it is not very reliable or oriented towards git. Most of
the git work at google (eg. Android) today actually uses Gerrit, which
a Git-only code review system which is more reliable and performant.
Gerrit is open-source, and GNU/FSF could host an instance too.

There are hosted versions of these as well, eg. http://gerrithub.io/

have a look at

It's proprietary. It runs on a host of Google production technologies,
such as Bigtable, to be able to scale, and integrates with a bunch of
other technologies (Google login, e-mail, etc.)
