Metasploit Framework 4.0 / PwnCraft RTS Game

Dear H DRM!

You clearly have talent at PR releases, rest assured, You will always
have a backup career path!

All that stuff aside:
1) Will MSF source be available in the future or will it be Meta-Core Impact?
2) How much it will cost? The $50 in shelves sounds silly.
3) Will it be like nessuss - free semi-crippleware and commercial product?

4) Do You have contributed code that was contributed under MSF
original license to which You are not owner? How those issues work?
I've heard projects changing license (one of the vpn servers had
issues with that) and then contributors complaining, that their code
was not released under the new license.

Stay tuned for more Toon Mistery at Metasploit!
