The only thing I expect from you at this point is that you continue to hold your code close to the vest, with the final goal of generating revenue from it. And there's nothing wrong with that - I'd rather pay for the whole package than participate in your current 'free' model.

Lets clarify a few things. There is three components to this solution.

1) the javascript viewer
2) the data feed itself
3) the backend that builds the data

The javascript viewer is open source (has to be).
The data is made available to all.
The backend is run by WPGamers just as wardb and realmwar run their own backend.

We never claimed the back end would be made available except through the JSON and XML feed. And it seems you infer that their is some inherent risk in this model? You dont have to use our javascript. You could write your own PHP code to display the data.

That's what really bugs me - the condescension implied in stating you cannot release part of the code because the world is not worthy enough to possess it.

Who the heck are you to judge that people aren't capable of using the code responsibly?

While you are seeking source code, why not complain to Mythic for not giving you source to Warhammer? Hell, why not ask wardb for their source code?

And please stop with the personal threats in PMs. It's childish.
