The source code for this project, developed by the Microsoft Research Team, is being released for use by the Allegiance community. On the words of Joel Dehlin: "It took some work to come to this decision. The chief concern was that the development team (who are all off doing new projects) would have to take too much time to reconstruct the build environment to work with the latest tools, pretty up the code, scrub the comments, etc. Since it was impossible to free up the time for the development team to do this work, we were left with the choice to release it as is (unsupported) or skip it altogether. Given where the Allegiance community has gone with NO SOURCES WHATSOEVER we decided that it would serve the community better to release the sources unsupported." It's a really big download (more than 500mb) and it's available at http://research.microsoft.com/research/allegiance/
