Hello!

Since I started developing plugins and includes for SA:MP server I've been thinking about how some things are being handled inside the samp-server. I could reverse engineer and that's what I've pretty much done, but I still had troubles.

So... my question now: Why is SA:MP not open-source (at least samp-server or parts of it)?

Pro:

• faster bug-fixes; as soon a bug is reported (or a new hack is being discovered), it is fixed (by any developer), send a pull request and redistrubited easily;
• more developers, more features; a git would be suitable since we can work at the same time, send pull requests, etc.;
• better in-sight for plugins & scripts programmers

Con:

• there will be a large amount of (ugly) modifications - people would rather modify the samp-server instead of writing plugins and includes
• some harmful application might exploit the source; this can be fixed by developers

I'm sure that there are some aspects I haven't took in consideration, I'd be happy if you mention them.

What is your opinion?

P.S. I know that this plugin won't make Kye change his mind over night. After all, it's his work and his decision.
