The source will remain available though? I hope?

I have seen this type of sentiment on other open source projects, where
someone spends a lot of effort (or just talks about) duplicating some
code. Unfortunately, not much we can do about it.
I have no idea what you are referring to, but hope that DCL remains
available, and that someone is able to use this amazing resource to
further our connectivity options.
Too bad there aren't more coders here!
