"The app isn't open sourced, I'm sorry."

Why is a fan created tool for a community project that is run by volunteers not open source? Also why does this matter when answering the question that was asked? I don't have much room to talk here since I am not really interested in map utilities anyway, but I am very skeptical of this tool now in light of that response.

However, assuming that your aim is not misguided (thinking you can make money on this) or malicious in some way, the transparent overlay does look pretty cool.

I know some folks would like to see it be open sourced, but it isn't.

The reason I do side projects like NorrathMap is because it gives me an outlet to let me code what I want how I want it. I can't do that at work working on software for companies. If I open source it, I feel I lose some of that free-ness I get from my personal projects.

If you're uncomfortable using it, please don't. No one is forcing you to do anything. If you do use it, it brings me a bit of satisfaction that I made something people enjoy. If you have some suggestions on how to make it even more useful, I'm all ears.

"If I open source it, I feel I lose some of that free-ness I get from my personal projects. "

Did you not get the part where the entire open source software movement was about freedom? Just because you GPL (or whatever license) your code doesn't mean you can't take the project in whatever direction you want, it just means others can also take their own forks or whatever derivative different directions if they want also.

Either way, your project not mine, so who am I to say what to do with it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it ultimately.

Can we get a mod response if this is ok to use? I want to use it, but want to see the official policy first.
