To open source or not to open source? That has been the question, and after much deliberation I've decided to open the source.
There are many reasons for and against open sourcing but in my mind all the reasons boil down to the same choice. Do I choose God or the world? God says "open source" and the world says "keep it for yourself and get rich". Fortunately, I've had some experience with what each choice promises and know that God's promise is trustworthy while the world's is not. The funny thing about it, though, is that God's promise often delivers on both his and the world's promises while the world's promise ultimately fails to deliver on anything, including it's own promises. Even funnier still is that, until last week and the decision to open source, I was still considering both. What is there to consider? The choice is an obvious one, because as Linda says... "You ARE rich!"
So now I make preparations for opening the source, which starts with the odious task of documenting the code.
