Raven II is an open source architecture as far as I can see. Academically-based.
However, this "company" AppliedDexterity
http://applieddexterity.com/
seems to have been created by Raven II originators and researchers. Guided by a tech start-up CEO type.

The RAVENTM community is what makes the RAVEN a powerful tool for innovation in the field of surgical robotics.

The RAVEN team’s goal is to advance the field of robot-assisted surgery by creating a research surgical robot that builds collaboration. Researchers can program and modify the RAVEN system but it serves as a standard platform so that they can share their software and improvements. The RAVEN is designed to be an extensible, robust, and programmable research tool to allow researchers in engineering, surgery, and computer science to experiment, innovate, and collaborate in the burgeoning field of robotic assisted surgery.

We invite you to the RAVENTM Community. Already placed at sixteen key robotics research centers, the RAVEN is a proven, third generation surgical robotics testbed that provides the nucleus of an open innovation community. This community is united in the application and support of a common platform, and each member has the power to pursue and develop their own intellectual property. Improvements made by the community to the core robotic manipulator will be made available to the entire group. Individual members then have the opportunity to pursue their own proprietary advances in procedures, attached instruments, supervisory software, and human/machine interfaces.

Applied Dexterity is here to accelerate and facilitate your work.
