i think they've mentioned in the past that the code will be donated and go open source after they've died. although i guess it would be torture to work on a 700,000 line 20 years old non-standard c/c++ codebase with almost no documentation with so many intricacies that touching one part will almost certainly introduce a bug in an unrelated place. i hope they get people onboard before they pass it on to the community.
