My point is that just because it's commercial software doesn't mean it should be closed source. If it was open source it could be 'easier to steal', but I bet most people seriously using it would still buy it. Anybody that took the time to patch the source would never have bought it anyway - so there is nothing lost.
I'm not sure why I'm getting down voted. For a bunch of open source evangelists that's pretty hypocritical.

My point was that it's already freely available today. Just go to the site and download it.

wat?
Two levels of wat, really. You think Hacker News readers are open source evangelists? And you think downvoting is hypocritical for open source evangelists?
