SMIL editor. Unfortunately non-free (despite the claim on the web site): claims not to allow commercial use.
In practice I doubt this is only partially enforceable legally: use isn't covered by copyright law, so only people who copy or distribute it (or any other action covered by copyright law) need to abstain from using it commercially. I'll see what their plans are and whether they can change their minds. The fact that they claim open-sourceness suggests a certain willingness for it actually to be open source.
It's definitely worth a shot. Make sure to specifically ask if the code can be used under the terms of the GPL. Let them know that we're interested in incorporating SMIL animation into Inkscape.
If they say no to that usage, ask if they'd have any problem if we were to clone/reimplement it in C++ for Inkscape, without using their code directly.
That's a really sweet editor, it'd kick ass if we could have that level of capability within Inkscape. :-)
