The problem is that this code is useless for anoyone trying to do 'good'. You can't make a better hl(ds) since you don't have the final version, but a beta version. And it will be virtually impossible to get it working just like the final version, let alone improve on it.
The only thing you can do with the source is rip off ideas and write ugly game hacks (most of which will be cheats, since no-one wants to release a crappy mod that fails to work after every tiny hl patch and takes days of work to keep compatible). This whole mess will only lead to bad things.
