Was BLink ever open sourced?

the original blink linker by Software Distillery, was it ever open sourced? Seems odd that it wasn't.

The only open source linkers for Amiga I am aware of now are DICE dlink and Frank Wille's PhxLnk

There is also vlink (VBCC linker) which is also written by Frank Wille:

It is portable and supports a wide variety of object/executable formats.

Going to answer my own question:

it's clear from the command line options format that blink became slink, same people after all made blink, went on to make Lattice, and then joined SAS
