You know what else isn't finished? The vast majority of open-source software. You don't need something to be finished to open-source it. That feels like the Android model to open-source: source code dumps at convenient times. The only valid reason not to open-source when you say you will is that you don't have all the copyright to do so, and are actively rewriting the bits you can't open-source.
- cmsj 11y agoThat is really a separate question though. Open Source is simply about licensing of a software release, it says nothing about the nature of the development community that produced the software. An open, collaborative development community in an Open Source or Free Software project, is a very good thing, but it is a separate thing.
