Marque: DAZ always maintained that the basic version of D|S will be free indefinetly so they never planned to make money from it. They want to use this as a tool to sell their content and their advanced plugins which they could still do if they make D|S Open Source (and choose the right license) In fact from the DAZ quote above it appears to me that they are going for a "half open" source concept as they are inviting developers to join their team which probably does not mean they want to hire them but rather provide them with an NDA, the souce code and let them work on subprojects.
