Why closed source?

[txczwgffr]

absolutely not.

It is hard for me to see how Hashcat would not be better if more people could contribute. If someone submits a patch that does something useful, commit; else, reject. It's not like once a project is made free and open source it becomes coding by committee. The people who run the project still decide what code goes in it.

I would be really interested to hear the reasons the source is closed.
