On Open Sourcing Tweaks

It’s pretty interesting the way commercial tweaks work. Even if I open source and offer a product for free online, almost the same exact amount of jailbreakers will purchase it, with or without realizing it’s up elsewhere. In the end, the only people who recognize it are those who really want to avoid purchasing it (wouldn’t get it anyway), or other developers who could use the source as an invaluable tool for further development. Either way, there are no losers, so I try to keep all my work future-proof and accessible on Github. Helps in case I drop development later, so people can still update it and understand how it worked.
