Even if DNNA was willing to release their mission-critical core codebase to a select few (I suspect they're not), it would require a significant amount of work and a large chunk of support time from the people who wrote it.
The significant amout of work would relate to putting the (software and process) systems in place to make such access possible.
I disagree with regard to support time - it is unlikely to be significantly more than now for two reasons. Firstly, anyone given access will be expected to support themselves (in fact, probably mlord is the only person likely to be admitted so if he doesn't step up to the plate this is probably a non-starter).
Secondly I suspect that the code still closed accounts for less than 50% of the total and we get on okay with the stuff that is open.
