iSeries Navigator is not free in the open source sense.  You cannot access
the source code, much less change it and distribute it.  The "free" in
opensource terms is in reference to freedoms gauranteed to you in the
licensing, not in terms of cost (either to you or to the producers).  It
is not so much the software that is free, but you.  You are free to choose
to act with the software in almost any way you choose.
