Open sourcing the entire Defold product has been discussed several times in the past (one example here: Why isn't Defold open source? (SOLVED) search for more!) and our standpoint hasn’t really changed. It will take significant time and effort on our part to open source Defold. There are obvious advantages in doing so but we would also have to make several changes to the product itself and the way we work. It would be quite disruptive but probably pay off in the end. Just look at the way the news that Corona was going open source was received by the community. It was not all positive feedback and praise and I’m guessing the same would be the case if we decide to open source Defold.
