SA-MP is old, yes, all the more reason to inject some life into it.

That argument is actually fairly stupid if you look at it from Kalcor's point of view. Why would you deliberately release the source of your mod so someone else can take the "throne" from you? That's incredibly illogical. If it's truly survival of the fittest, then Kalcor would do well keeping the source private until the end of the time. That way there's no potential for competition at all. Survival of the fittest, after all.
