Hi!

Accidentally stumbled about this URL:

http://www.hybodus.com/

Now it looks an awful lot like an combination out of
mrtg/rrdtool and perhaps cacti, all of them are GPL.

Albeit the FAQ says:

"Is Hybodus Open-Source?
Answer:

No. Hybodus is not open source. Hybodus was developed by The Web
Freaks, INC which is a company of developers dedicated to full
time development and management of The Web Freaks Network."

Strange, perhaps someone has more info, smells somehow?
