This is just curiosity, and feel free not to answer. To clarify, you don't want
people criticizing the code you put your energy into? Or, do you not want people
replacing your code with 'perfectly correct' code?
As for the open source question, I support open source initiatives, and I like
the idea, and I'll encourage developers to do it. However, I am not of the
mindset to *insist* anyone who is writing software in their free time,
voluntarily, must make the software open source. It is that individual's project
and they can treat their source how they choose.
