RE: Any progress about open source?
Well, that would be the case if updating your sphere server was as simple as dropping a new exe in or running an Update tool, but it isn't. If you don't do monthly incremental changes, updating sphere can be an effort that a lot of people don't want to do, hence people still running 51a when they don't need to be, and 56b from 2012 still. So people would never get security patches unless they upgrade sphere anyway, which even as it is now people don't, having open source code highlighting bugs and keeping a log of unfixed ones, and a log of which version they are fixed in just highlights holes in every server out there. I bet no servers with more than 50 players have updated sphere for 2 years or more.

Just saying, I have arguments for both ways here, so I don't know
