If you look at the installation link, then it points
to SourceForge, so it seems most likely that VSI takes
the SF code and make an official VSI version of that.

Which may make sense, if there are still VMS sites
around with a strict "only software from VMS owner
or well known commercial vendors like Oracle are
allowed on the VMS system" policy.
