It seems some parts of the project will be given to Kav Marachot, which though not "Open Source", deploys it's servers (and now it's Java Clients as well it seems) on Linux from what I've been told.
Some security-aware users of Merkava (Ministry of Defenses and Ministry of Foreign Affairs) did no want to share sensitive information with the main system. Would be interesting to find out how big is Kav's share really is.
