Default SEIV as OPEN SOURCE?

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but it definitely would be great for SEIV to be open source.
There are so many ideas around worth having in the game that it is just impossible for MM to get it all done alone. With a large community interested in the game there should be enough programmers to help building the game into the most exciting computer game experience ever.
As for MM's profits: MM (or shrapnel)could still sell the developer's kits and put together the official gaming Version. You would just buy the DevlpKit and then could do to the game whatever you liked enjoy the results for yourself or share it by sending them back to MM(who would of course make them available in their forum). You would not be any more entitled to give away the game to others...

How about it MM?
