The source code can be obtained from the development Subversion server:
svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk user "anonymous"You can also browse the repository online. To see a preliminary doxygen documentation of the code go here.

A very good and easy to use Windows client known as TortoiseSVN is also available.
Mac users: You can use the SVN client in fink (svn-client). Old versions of this client have been known to cause problems so run fink selfupdate before installing it to make sure you have the newest version.
OpenTTD has a project page on SourceForge.
