I don't want such ppl to touch REBOL then, that is all. One either is enthusiast, or is not. Yes, R2 model was terrible, we could not correct/fix/extend almost anything. R3 changes it almost completly. So, do those ppl REALLY see source of the core kernel itself? Why? What for? Just for the sake of seeing some code? I think, that with hybrid licensing, they can feel safe enough. And who knows, maybe after some time, RT will open even kernel sources. If RT would went down, it was already being taking for, even for R2, the code would go to Escrow. So what prevents thouse ppl from feeling safe? Their fanatism?
