Yeah, I just meant if you ever effectively gave up on the project.
You could go open source and then completely throw yourself on the mercy of your fans like dwarf fortress does with its completely opt-in donations, but that doesn't really strike me as your style. e: actually they arent open source either, eh
e2: Honestly the only way you can get people to share information generally is if there is some kind of intellectual property protection that protects them from the downsides of doing that. Thats so impractical for code that we basically live in trade secret land like people did 150 years ago with regular physical inventions (prior to (relatively) well enforced patents and suchnot).
