Now that I think about it more, Javascript makes the entire issue of open 
source much less urgent given that one can pass in their own custom 
functions, either for replacement purposes or for extension.  I'll just 
have to provide the API for what kinds of arguments will be passed in and 
what should be returned.  You'll be able to save the functions on the 
client side through the HTML5 File API, and then send them via XHR into the 
process at runtime.

And when it comes to how the program works in general, I would much rather 
give people a conceptual understanding through pseudocode examples and have 
them develop their own implementations.  I know that this way requires 
actual time and thought, but hey... these things never hurt anyone did they?

I do find the whole open source movement a tad pointless.  For me, the 
source code always takes a back seat to good API documentation, well 
commented header files, decent man pages, a good bug reporting/fixing 
system, etc.
