As indicated by the articel mentioned earlier, has Journal of Machine Learning Research (JLMR) opened a separate track for open source licensed machine learning algorithm.

"The aim of this special section is to provide, in parallel to theoretical advances in machine learning, a venue for collection and dissemination of open source software. Furthermore, we believe that a resource of peer reviewed software accompanied by short articles would be highly valuable to the machine learning community in general, helping to build a common repository of machine learning software."
