Is Iota is open blockchain/network? This part of the readme indicates otherwise.

"Obviously, because this is its own, independent network, you have to go through the same process as in the main network: find neighbors. You can find neighbors in the #nodesharing Slack channel[Slack Invite], or on our forum. "
