I assume you're not proposing to honour the agreement you made earlier. 
Namely that if you stop developing a program, you release the source 
code. I now know who not to trust!

This whole episode has taught me many things : 

You can't take criticism. This all started because several list members, 
including myself made comments like 'pity the source code isn't 
available'. For some reason you took major exception to this. 

Your agreements are not worth the bits they are written with (see above). 

There are now presumably a number of disks archived in Imagedisk format 
that cannot (legally) be read. Great!. This is no better than teledisk. 
It has convinced me even more that the only tools I will use to archive 
disks are open-source ones, because that's the only way I can be sure 
that the author won't throw a hissy fit for whatever reason and make the 
archives useless.
