costis is just a control freak, nothing more nothing less :=P there
really is no reason to not release source, other than wanting to 
keep it to yourself (which is everyones fair right ofcourse, i'm not
a big friend of releasing source either, for several reasons). they
are already pirating games, and they are already cheating pso -
releasing the code wouldnt change anything. (and like someone
said before, even a medioucre skilled hacker can reverse the crap
he'd need from the released exe file - even if he'd need to bootstrap
his own stuff using the already encoded packets. however this is neither
needed to pirate stuff nor to cheat pso. pirate tools just use the
existing loader binaries, and pso can be cheated more easily by
editing save games.).

whatever, my offer to supply our own stuff to someone who is skilled
in both networking and gamecube coding so he can develop it into a
really useable application still stands.

oh well,
