I'm interested in seeing how a few parts of Emacs+ are implemented. I
don't see any link to download the source code. Is it available?

The source code is not currently available. Is there something specific you were looking for?

It looks like a nice product. But, me, and quite a few others, are uncomfortable editing their livelihood's work on something that's (a) not from a large or well-known vendor or (b) has source available. And I think some company policies are basically set up that way.

Now, the funny thing is, if it's not open source, we'd have a better chance of using it if you charged for it. That's less strange than free-but-not-open-source

Since you are providing Emacs+ free of charge, you certainly don't owe anyone anything, and it's great that you've provided this tool at all. Thank you.

That said, I don't understand the reasoning behind keeping it closed source. In my mind, the GNU philosophy of free software is also part of the (X)Emacs(en) philosophy. So, to provide the functionality of Emacs in a non-free (as in freedom) plugin seems like a contradiction to me. Then again, I could be mistaken or overlooking something obvious.

I LOVE this functionality! Recently, I've moved to Kepler because I'm using http://scala-ide.org/ and things mostly work.

However, I wonder if you'd be interested in either:

1) having a kickstarter created to get enough money to pay you to do the work required to support Kepler (Jun0 and above) or

2) be interested in open sourcing the code so others could fix the issues.

I am in the camp of people who LOVE / desperately need this functionality to make our lives complete ;^) And so would gladly help in either area. (Although I have very little time to contribute code as a) my day job is demanding, b) I'm taking a Coursera course, c) I have other side projects I work on etc.) I wouldn't mind kicking in some cash to get the functionality I love .

Thanks for considering either option. If you're considering the kickstarter option, I imagine you'll have to pick a price that you'd be willing to do the work for.
