which (i think we are agreeing here) indicates, that it might not change much, if the sources were legally open. this is simply too much work for any single person. you need an infrastructure for that kind of huge project to maintain and work on it. such an infrastructure exists on aros. so far i see thor and olsen must have at least started to introduce this sort of infrastructure to their os/kickstart sources, as they must have been totally outdated in this respect, as they reported. it also needs a perspectivic wholesale approach, instead hacking some bits and pieces of asm together, and im sure they have proved to think in these categories. thats what others might not have considered and why leaking the sources couldn't have any such effect.
