Open Source URL Shortening

This is pretty awesome:

After weeks of controversy concerning a possible closure of the service, URL shortener Tr.im just announced that it’s open sourcing its code, handing ownership of its domain name over to a community nonprofit organization and making clickthrough data freely available from now on, in real time.

I wonder if this will make Tr.im more or less appealing than TinyURL and bit.ly.
