It isn't actually all that surprising; mainly what managers are looking
for with commercial applications is some sort of customer support (and
nobody's figured out how to pirate that yet ;). Being able to see (and
tweak!) the source code has come in handy here on a number of occasions,
so I'm glad they haven't obfuscated it as well.
