While it's not open source Think Essentials is cheap and works with Z-Wave.

vCrib is free and has support for zwave.

http://code.google.com/p/open-zwave is looking good. It's currently Beta (more like Alpha to me). It's moving awfully fast though.

Open source, C++ source code, unencumbered (they have signed no NDAs etc.)

They also snagged the http://www.openzwave.com domain but that's currently a redirection to the above site.

This is just a library to be used by other applications in order to communicate with zwave devices. It is not an actual program on its own. It is very promising and has been moving very fast. I will definitely be using in any zwave programs I write.
