    Well, I'm working on a project that is dear to me. Nothing to fancy, just a small scripting language for the creation of Windows forms. My dilemma is wether or not I should make this project open source. It will definitly be freeware. The only reason I would want to make it closed source is that maybe somewhere down the road I might be able to sell the engine. Any advice, opinions, or suggestions?? I need help making up my mind.

      It depends upon your expertise and the level of the project. i will suggest if you can sell then sell it as an Open Source :)
