Thank you for the quick into zebra2 and kingmudsy, I guess I will check it out right now!

I wonder though. If this is a free indie game, why is it closed-source?

There's no obligation to make it open-source, especially considering how the donation model rarely works for those and DF is their only source of income. Also, it's developed in, IIRC, C without version control (ToadyOne said so during reddit AMA) for over a decade. Even if it was released, it's probably a mangled idiosyncratic mess that would take years to refactor or get anyone up to speed well enough to contribute anything.
