Score one for open-source apps for a for-profit company. I did something similar with my company's Android and iOS apps. They're both open-source and I have a number of users who have improved the app experience for everybody because they were both technical and inclined to improve their own experience. And it's so unlikely that a competitor will do better than you by using [a mangled form of] your app that you get to weigh the benefits as winning out over the drawbacks of open-source.
