Most people choose to go closed-source even if they are releasing the game as free because the fact that someone can steal their code and claim it as theirs. It is like the same for graphics. Do you think the people who created SNES graphics appriciate them being ripped and used in many other games without credit? There was a big discussion on this with ORE over at the QBite.nl forums when Deloria used ORE and refused to give credit. Also, many people believe in not sharing source and instead sharing ideas and examples so that way you still have to make your own game and know what you are doing, not just downloading source, changing it to "Made By..." and calling it yours.
