I stand corrected.  I just checked the download sites.  I had thought 
there was source on there a number of years ago (5.x time frame).  I see 
lots of built binaries (somewhat up to date), but no source.

Ganglia monitor allows you to configure this, and all gridded machines 
(in the Globus sense) do something similar when they join a 
computational or data grid.  I think it would be incorrect to call it 
spying.  Monitoring may be more accurate and more appropriate.
