Is Neo4j's Cypher query language open-source?

Question

what is the status of the Neo4j's language Cypher? I really like it, but I would like to avoid the Neo4j lock-in. Are there some other Cypher interface like there are in Gremlin?

Regards

Cypher is totally OSS, see https://github.com/neo4j/community/tree/master/cypher . Right now there is one implementation, but potentially there can be more. It's just too early in the evolution to make it a standard, we are still heavily experimenting with it.
