Code can be under a free license, but not released to general public. I often help others out, or give them small snippets of my code base when it is needed. However I will not publicly publish my code. I keep things under a secure private code repository because I really dont want to have to deal with the fallout if I accidentally include credentials or some other non-public data. One of the other reasons is, I dont write most of my code for the general public to use, if someone who doesnt know what they are doing screws up, I dont want my code responsible for crashing a wiki. (Yes it is possible, Ive dont it before by accident.)
I will not be handing out copies of my code to anyone who asks. But I will review requests, and if Im hit by a bus and can no longer support my tools then and only then will tools admins step in.
