I don't get it, one doesn't need the source code to change a few credits strings and pictures. Making Paint.NET closed source is about as effective as game studios putting more and more advanced DRM mechanisms into their games.

I understand why the author is upset, but his cure is worse than the disease.

Yeah, closed source tooling is garbage. I need to be able to fix the tools I use, or customize them for my purposes.

I would of thought a proper OS license would've been a better solution.
