It definitely makes sense for VMware to build and open source this, since their core business is selling the virtualization software this runs on top of (I assume).
Though I wonder how much of it is really VMware specific, or if it would be relatively easy to port to Xen, etc.
Edit: actually it appears it might be agnostic to the virtualization layer.
