Yeah, it's bad phrasing.

What was intended (by my understanding) was that we're not currently opening up the private Canvas GitHub repository and releasing the code to the community for maintenance and whatnot going forward.

The theme itself is of course GPL, so anyone is free to redistribute it from a copyright license perspective, and I imagine the trademark will at some point be dropped so there's no concerns on that front either (as a total shot in the dark guess, I am not a lawyer).

In short: it was awk phrasing, as it is of course open source GPL, but the repo isn't getting scrubbed to go public.
