Uhh, where, in my entire message, did I say that it wasn't? DUH, of 
course it's the author's decision. I was just curious as to WHY more 
Apple II software authors haven't open sourced their work, since the 
market isn't really there.

I was hoping for an answer from an author or two, not an obvious 
response stated in a condescending way.
