Yes, you can use it and index up to 500 MB of data per day for free, but the source code is distributed in compiled format and is not available for redistribution (without a partner agreement). Nice write up on splunk though, it's a great tool, we love and use it as well. -theHoegg “the really nice thing about this product is that it’s open source meaning it’s essentially free to use”
