This isn't really a suggestion but rather a question, was wondering why uranium is close source since it's a fan game, it'll be cool if someone could alter their gameplay for what it's for, though I do understand why that may cause a problem on the battle community. But that's more voluntary since you're actively responding to or doing a request, doing whatever you like on a game would be great and I do understand why people who are working on this game as non profit doesn't want that. Though this question is an appeal to have closure on it being close source. Thanks!

1. That was the original creator's request. She wanted her work to remain as she saw it, for people to experience it the way she intended it to be experienced.
2. Multiplayer. The more code access people have, the easier hacking becomes, and Uranium has a nice hack-free trading community, a breeding community, etc.
So yeah it will always be closed source.
Other games, like Reborn I think, have a different attitude where they encourage modding, and those games are cool in their own way. You can always find something you like in the fangame community.
