1. While I can build tizen packages, there is no instruction on how to pull things together, i.e. 'git clone tizen&& make', it's not an open project per se.
2. for HTML5 apps, how can a developer secure his own work, as html5/javascript can be viewed/copied freely from the browser in source format?
3. the SDK is 32bit only.

There's a Tizen manifest for repo, contributed by a 3rd party developer:
https://gitorious.org/tizen-toys/tizen-manifest

Last time I tried, it failed but it seems he committed some recent updates.

To install Tizen SDK 1.0 on 64-bit Linux system you could try this.

You're asking this on a FLOSS-friendly site? Why are you trying to interfere with the four freedoms, (0) the freedom to run the program for any purpose, (1) the freedom to study how the program works and to change it to make it do as the user wishes, (2) the freedom to redistribute copies to help one's neighbor, and (3) the freedom to improve the program and to release modifications/improvements to the public for community benefit? Freedoms one and three require sources.

Why are you disrespecting your users and the community in general to the point of trying to interfere with these freedoms?

Further, without the sources, how am I as a potential user supposed to fairly evaluate the chance of your now black-box to damage my system or existing data, in ordered to agree to the traditional waive of such damages, or do you perhaps take full liability for such damages, or do you so disrespect your users as to rob them of their ability to make such agreements on a fair basis, with the ability to know just what code they're agreeing to be responsible for?
