That's true, but we also want to make sure we help set best practice in
the fields we work in. There's a whole interesting situation developing
"in the cloud" where people trust data to code they never see. I think
we can open source the pieces of Launchpad that will (a) help people
gain confidence in the platform security and (b) help people contribute
code to fix issues or add features that they want on LP.net. We're
working on ways to do that without also devaluing LP.net itself.
