That's a pretty weak response to "why isn't your product with Open in the name open-source yet." They don't need to provide documentation or accept code contributions at all in order to release the source code they're working on.

That kind of logic gives me the impression they may not ever open-source it if they get successful enough to sell it somehow (and, if it flops, it's a coin-flip as to whether or not they get around to open-sourcing it before it disappears).
