Well, I faced a moral dilemma and would like to ask for an advice...
FrictionlessCoin created a thread dedicated to NEX (descendant of NXT). I had a lot of fun reading that thread but I suspect some people took NEX seriously. The problem is that if FC waits till April when Nxt source code becomes completely open, he still won't be able to generate a valid genesis block, coz Nxt uses a crypto algo modified by BCNext (this is why we collected 10 BTC for the audit). I support all cryptocurrencies and would like to help him to create a new genesis block, competition is good for the whole crypto-community. But this could look not very good to guys who own NXTs...
What would u do?

I reference ENIAC and University of Pennsylvania somewhere in the 50's. University of Pennsylvania could be what M.I.T. is today. They are not because they refused to release any intellectual property related to ENIAC. Their greediness lead them to a lot less than if they had grasped the concept of spreading the word. NXT is a technology and it won't be hidden forever. The ones who try to hold technology under pressure are the first to get blown away.
I believe giving FrictionlessCoin some Ritalin would be more appropriate.

Release the code, yes, actively help FC, no.
