Lagertha is right. People here do things to help community.
The lack of opensource is unpleasant, yes. There were many cases when I wanted to modify something in the game I am playing but I couldn't because I didn't have the source code. But you need to understand that it is their right - a reward for their hard work.
Yes, it is possible that the lack of releasing my tool opensource might slow things down. But besides the fact of stealing my code by other people and then seeing them claiming the code as theirs (yes it is breaking copyright but we are on copybot forum - people here rarely care about such things), it also breaks intimate feeling that you are the only one having power over your program and it is only you deciding how the program will be shaped.. I am sure you are a dev so you know what I mean.
Is that selfish? Maybe a little. But I find it as a part of a reward for the hard unpaid work that I made. But as you noticed, I am active here. Even though I don't release the source code I try to help people here use my tool, I react on bug reports and so on.
But as I already said, my new tool will be much more accessible for modifications.. and I might release source code of MeshFix when it happens.
To be honest, my new tool is exactly addressing the issue you pointed out - that there are not many resources to built tools for Second Life. It will revolutionize everything. As I said two posts ago: you will be satisfied.
So..
You have to stay patient. And if you want to speed things up, rather cheer me up and be nice, give hugs, rep points or donate me instead of making demands.. really, it is much better way :D
