Was just saying it is, a tad. Maybe "pointless" was a bad word choice. Overblown is probably better. Don't think you can deny that without those other things, the source code of any non trivial program is quite a worthless commodity in and of itself. The entire node ecosystem, at the moment, is at the point where the programs are still fairly trivial, and so the value of source code is still relatively high. That state of affairs won't last forever.
Anyway, I guess the larger point is that I feel my program has the potential to be quite profitable in the future. I still am fairly young and quite hungry. I would much rather be very close with a few business associates than just another anonymous user on github who everyone takes for granted. I have ambitions, and I won't apologize for that.
