The idea of releasing source is an interesting one, but one that gets pretty scary in terms of providing support for the software. How can I provide support for software that you, the user, has modified? I can hear it now, "the change I made can't possibly have any relationship to the problem I'm experiencing". Now don't take this as a personal attack, cause it isn't meant that way. Now, if one were to purchase software on an "as is" basis, then releasing the source would be less of a problem, since the buyer is on his/her own for support anyway. That's just not the way things work.
