For a second I thought they were open-sourcing App Engine. Instead this is just a download for the SDK.
you can browse the source if you like: https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/

appengine is a platform, how would open sourcing it help you? You have a spare datacenter? FWIW there is an opensource clone out there in the wild but you need a cloud infrastructure to run it and it's not up to date with the latest SDK.
I wish they include support for IPython as well. That would make things far more easier and comfortable. I wish
Awesome that I just asked our premier support engineer if the $99 was waived for paying premier customers and she had no idea they had released SSL to everybody.

And it costs $99/month. Hmm. (I'm not considering SNI since IMHO it's a non-starter not being supported by XP.) Lack of custom SSL was the main issue preventing me from considering App Engine for my web service, so I'll definitely have to revisit it to see how it could compare to AWS in production.
Alternatively I guess you could detect non-SNI browsers and redirect them to appspot.com instead, but that feels a little messy.

Releasing it would allow others to run "appengines" so you could move from one provider to another as you can with "traditional" hosting. Appengine pretty much locks you in. I'm interested to see where OpenShift will lead though. https://openshift.redhat.com/
