Then again, seeing as a) SIMS is free, and b) Work on SIMS has stopped, does this mean that you plan to continue working on SIMS, and charging users for it, in the future? Seems unlikely, given that it's all Mac OS classic code, and, further, code you don't even want to touch. If you don't charge for it, you can't financially benefit from it, and if you aren't working on it, then no-one benefits at all from shortcomings in the code. Which leaves, what, company reputation for the program that might get tarnished if the open-source version goes wrong? Open-source software is, as far as I can see anyhow, a well-respected thing, so it seems a shame to keep the code locked away, and let problems in SIMS remain forever unfixed. That apps that are allowed to go stagnant like this is a shame really. I hope you can rethink this issue, for the sake of the SIMS-using community.
