Is Orion open-source?
We’re working on it! We’ve begun with some of our components and intend to open more in the future.
Forking WebKit, porting hundreds of APIs and writing a browser app from scratch has been challenging for our small team. Properly maintaining an open-source project takes time and resources we’re short on at the moment, so if you want to contribute at this time, please consider becoming active on orionfeedback.org.

"The saying goes “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product” —unless open-source, I tend to add if I hear someone say it! Alas, Mozilla’s recent faux-pas suggests that even noble projects aren’t immune to the shiny glint of ick."
...I don't know if we should embrace proprietary like that just because "firefox did it".

Built on webkit? I might have to check it out if they open source it.

GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) is also based on WebKit. You might want to check that out as well.
