I think he was making more of a statement than a flame.... but
I have to say, I _do_ agree with Justin on his point of view of not releasing
source code. I can appreciate just how much effort goes into writing 3d code,
and if Justin wan't to keep it to himself, then fine! There are heaps of other
engines out there, go find those!
Basically, if someone want's to release something for you to use _FREE_, then
don't complain (or get depressed... ;) - Justin has worked hard on this, and
could charge for it just like the several hundred other companies doing so,
but hasn't! So don't try and make him feel obligated to release source to you.
Leathal.
