Will the emulator ever be made free?

I mean in a year's time or something.

In the Sources section of my website it says (about the sources):
They will be available at some future date.
That's about all I want to say for now; I'm definitely not committing to a date. It may be a year from now, it may be more. Please remember that I've been working on this for several years now.

I don't understand what that means.

I wasn't asking about code. I was asking about the emulator.

The Source code is what the Binary ie. CD-i Emulator is derived from. So basically when the CD-i Emulators Source is released programmers can expand on CD-i Fans project if they so wish and if (and that's a big IF) they posses the technical know how as CD-i Fan does!!

By releasing the source code to CD-I Emulator, CD-I Fan would be, in effect, giving the program away for free.

What would be the point of releasing a free binary and not the source, anyway?

Please understand this is many months away, at the least...
