Yes and no. It's open enough to allow people to develop changes for 
submission for the master instance. It's not open enough to allow people 
to run their own instances without a nearly prohibitive amount of effort:

   The image and icon files in Launchpad are copyright Canonical, but
   unlike the source code they are not licensed under the AGPLv3.
   Canonical grants you the right to use them for testing and
   development purposes only, but not to use them in production
   (commercially or non-commercially).

I'm grateful to Canonical for opening it even this far, but Launchpad is 
not open source enough for it to be a viable tool for supporting 
internal organizational use of Bazaar.
