Of all the clients that have been or are being worked on, are any of them open source so I can look at it and/or contribute?
Preferably something that isn't MS-Windows dependent, although I might be able to get MS-Windows stuff working under Wine.

Answering my own question here (what I get for posting without doing the research), there are four I could find:
- The very start of one in the Freestars project itself
- GStars
- Frontier Project
- My Own Stars
The last one (My Own Stars) doesn't seem to have any source code and is Windows specific anyway,
Frontier Project looks like the one that has the most code, but I don't know which gui toolkit it is using, and whether the toolkit is available for Linux (all the classes start with FX, can anyone help?). In fact, Frontier Project seems to have no documentation whatsoever.
Freestars itself and GStars both look _very_ skeletal, but use wxWidgets, a cross platform toolkit.
So I'll change my question:
Of the multitude of Freestars clients out there, can anyone suggest which would be the best to look at from the point of view a Linux user?

You can often catch LEit in the #freestars IRC channel.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.Report message to a moderator
