Regarding my projects, it is pointless to open the source to something that isn't finished. It's like letting people eat raw meat. Best served cooked. My personal policy is whenever I release something that works, the source is included as well. When there are no binaries to release, there is no source to release. Unlike Dolphin, I don't make a habit of releasing a binary without the source.
Secondly, you can try to twist my words any way you please but that can't change the fact that everything I've said in the original thread has been civil, and I've been met with incredible amounts of hostility. It's ironic that you would claim that my behavior would make people only reject open source further. Maybe I should start calling people wankers are replying to everyone's posts with *sigh*, instead of using my usual point-by-point debating style and making a coherent case for my cause. That appears to be what respected people do around here.
Finally, as I said in the original thread I realize that it is solely the decision of the authors regarding what to do with the code. I made my points on why they should open source it but I can't force them to do anything. There is no harm in a discussion, debate, and attempt at persuasion. That has been done, the result is clear, all sides have made their case, the authors have essentially made their decision. I think the moderator locked the thread at an appropriate time. Everyone had a say. That is why I find this sequel thread somewhat offensive. Stop picking at the scab. I made my points and the authors made their decision. Assuming you guys don't purge threads, it can be used for reference later. So leave it be.

I best point out that none of what I have posted is meant to have anything of a hostile or sarcastic edge to it.
Which I respect. It should be fairly obvious who I'm talking about here. I haven't implicated you as being disrespectful or unprofessional. But when a respected member of the community and especially a staff member acts as such, it does speak for the whole to a more or less significant extent.
