There's the CMU/Cambridge SLM kit:
http://svr-www.eng.cam.ac.uk/~prc14/toolkit.html
...which runs on Linux & Solaris. It is freely available, and comes with the source, but the source's copyright boilerplate lists that it can be redistributed for "research purposes only". 


SRI has their own package:
http://www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/
...which has a "community" license (requires changes to be shared with the community, and requires an email before re-distribution). 

>From my understanding, these are both "free" and provide "source", but their licenses restrict them from being FOSS.


I think the Chinese language models used by SunPinyin's SLM:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490970
...have the potential to be used with Burmese. However, I haven't used this software.
