Great reasoning, can't argue with that. Let him continue to work on his creation while he can.

Is the whole thing going to be open sourced? I feel if enough people had access it could be ported to any language with today's tools and people.

Is it possible to write a black box regression test framework?

It seems to be a one-of-a-kind simulation product that could be used as part of actual financial/trading training. There's insane value here, giving the source code away for free is absolutely not a good strategy.
