It depends what you mean by "open source". If you mean free software, no. Jahia is released under a collaborative source license. If you mean free access to the source code for research and development use, yes, the whole source code is available here: htpp://www.jahia.org/cvs.
Jahia was released under a contribute or pay paradigm to avoid technology free riders and provide incentives to the IT managers to book some of their developers to develop new extensions. Quite nice as the Jahia community is growing very rapidly thanks to this business model.
Check the Jahia license FAQ for more information on the Jahia license.

Jahia is NOT Open Source

If Jahia is open source then maybe Windows is.
The license is closer to Microft's shared source concept than anything than meets OSI standards. Whether or not I pay for the code has nothing to do with "open source", it's that I get the source code AND I am free to do what I want with it. It also has nothing to do with collaborative development other than most open souce projects are developed collaboratively. They don't have to and as you have proven you don't have to be open source to develop collaboratively.
At least Caucho (Resin) were polite enough to stop calling themselves "open source" awhile ago.
