its great to see freeware software becoming open source, where the author has spent so much time building them and is now confident enough to let others care for them as lovingly as they have.
skyos would have been nice to see going open source.
ultimately its the authors work and they are allowed their paranoia's but surely when hundreds or thousands of hours have gone in to a project, the best way to honor your own commitment is to allow people to build upon it?
