Irrelevant. Point here is that it was a huge success thanks to open sourcing. It wouldn't have been shit w/o open sourcing.

The efficiency gains through open sourcing are staggering, and to argue against it is to try and defend an aging model that is producing embarrassingly poor results in comparison.
What "efficiency gains"? People can still submit code fixes to the devs by editing the relevant section of the PEQ code, they just can't copy the p99 code and make their own p99 clone. The harms of that outweigh any argument you can come up with in favour of making p99 open source.
