I agree with you. I don't think anyone wants ANC to be closed source after main net launch. We are talking only about the current period before and during test-net. During that period trust is not an issue because main-net remains unaffected. We just don't want anyone to launch before us. Launching after us based on our code is both okay and unpreventable.
I think all of us agree that ANC should be completely open source once Zerocoin reaches main net.
This. The ZC release is about being first. If ANC releases source code and runs it on test net for a while someone with no ethics will copy/paste and skip the whole test phase simply to be first. It's possible that it will fail, not being tested, or it can succeed. But there is no reason to give a typical ponzi scheme pump n dump coin this advantage. Once it's put on main net it should be open source and by then anoncoin will be recognized for being first mover and clones will fade into obscurity as ANC rises.
