Theory is - when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is - when all works, but you don't know why.
We combine theory and practice - nothing works and nobody knows why
Is there any reason to do Quad-engine opensource?

If it lets people do what they want to do without limitations over comparable engines then there's no big requirement to go open source.
However it can help attract more users. There's a general preference for 'compiled in' solutions - if you stop developing / don't support some new desired feature, all projects that use your engine are affected too. It's forcing a dependency without any guarantee that you'll support peoples projects in future. Potentially people could be putting years worth of work into a project so future viability of their dependencies becomes important.
Plus assuming you have a big enough user base you'll get bug-reports and submissions that'll accelerate the project - so you'll be able to do more yourself than time currently lets you.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie - that's an extinction level impact event.
So starting today Quad-engine goes OpenSource:
