I just today uploaded the source code for this program, as well as a couple others, here...

Always a good move to make your stuff open-source

Maybe

It always is.

Unless your sole goal in life is to make everyone pay up to your demands and be a cold hearted person.

Or if you really need the money, but for a free utility, it's awesome for being open source.

Never say never!!

For example I can't let my game Tach Chess be open source, as then people would be able to change the rules, etc

It's not impossible to hack into closed source programs. Also, isn't being able to modify rules and tweaking things actually a good thing? (as long as we are not talking about cheating human vs human like in computer games)

Yes I know you can hack straight into an .exe file

And, no, it's not necesarily a good idea to let ppl change the rules, lol

One thing- in Mandarin, shajun means "to disinfect" according to my friend.

That's good enough for me

It's actually named that because the word is based on the phrase 'shadegen' - a phrase which had already been used for a previous tool - the one this is based on.
