        <title>Make it open source!</title>
        <description>Could this app be open-source perhaps? Its really nice you guys &amp;quot;seem&amp;quot; active with responding, but nothing is really done in development. At least ii got the feeling about this. Last release was 2 years ago or more.

The app is really nice, but i could use a couple of upgrades, ive seen many really great suggestions, but nothing is done or shown in terms of development.

Would be great if this app would turn open-source, so people who are devoted can do work on. Now its sitting on a shelf catching dust waiting to be killed.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[I have nothing against paying 10€ for this product but would still prefer to make this open source on Github so other developers can contribute to develop this project. Blender Market works in a similar way.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I wrongly assumed PureRef was open source because they let you download it for free. I now regret paying the twelve euros and will seek open source alternatives. In particular I&#039;d like to fork the project to allow GIFs (not just the first frame).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Linux user (for both design and development) and FOSS advocate here. <br />
<br />
I’m delighted to see that development has resumed as of version 1.10.0. This is a unique and highly useful piece of software that I think could become standard among artists and designers using multiple platforms. <br />
<br />
However, to ensure its legacy, it must be introduced to the bigger crowd. Leveraging the momentum of the open-source movement means not only community-based development but also inclusion in the most popular package manager repositories. My recommendation: choose a license and let’s make this little utility legend.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I fully agree, with the development inactivity soon approaching 3 years, I think this is the perfectly appropriate time to open-source it. <br />
The developer is clearly either too busy with something else or have lost interest in this project.<br />
They don&#039;t seem to have any interest in monetizing it either, so I really don&#039;t see any reason for keeping it closed.<br />
<br />
On behalf of the community, PLEASE do consider open-sourcing this. <br />
This is a one-of-a-kind software and it would be a huge shame if it is lost into the depths of the abandonware world.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I would love this as well. Being a programmer as well as an artist I would like to so some additional features maybe as plugins or something.<br />
<br />
I think a plugin API would do as well but i assume this would be kinda laborious.<br />
<br />
If you&#039;d rather not do that i completely understand this, but I really liked the Idea.]]></description>
