I can understand why the dumper, and the analyser are not released open source, it helps maintain the quality of available IPF images. But the emulator plugins?

we always said we'd release the source code eventually, when we're ready. if we cant continue with the project then this would also be a good reason to do it then.
in the meantime we'd not like to encourage others to create their own IPF files. right now there is no such thing as a bad, fake or otherwise poor quality IPF file, and from the majority of conversations i've had or seen on other forums and this one in places, thats the first thing the source code would be used for.
and, if we did release the souce of the plugin to preserve it as you say, that doesnt mean it will, or will ever be, 'open source' / GPL etc.
