Will it be released as open-source? Doesn't really make sense to develop it as a closed-source application, when the application itself is offered for free, and open source versions exist already.

this is a very small understanding of what they are trying to build.

That's a rather ambiguously worded sentence.

Who lacks understanding of what they're trying to do? I know I do, and that's because they're apparently not making mention of it.
