If you would release ADOM source code,someone will definetly steal it.They might call their game as their own,with no relationships to ADOM.But,think.Why do you think that the nethack and a lot of more games are so popular even dozens of years after its release?Because people can edit them,add mods,so the game lives much longer.Also,it will be nice to compile the ADOM source at exotic machines,so you could play ADOM at your calculator Also,the binaries does NOT always work.Also,the whole developing thingies wouldnt take so long,if everyone could develop.I think that there are more pros then cons for release of the code.
