Stable bindings doesn't mean open source, so I don't see how that tells you it's still on the table
They're moving a lot of code to this internal core, which means this core is unstable. It's pretty common for projects to hold off on making code public until it's reached a certain level of stability. I'm guessing they're not interested in accepting patches, due to the high level of churn from the dev team. Once that churn dies down, there's a chance they'll reconsider and make it FOSS.
I've seen this in a number of FOSS projects, and it's also what I do on my own (I don't want help until I'm happy with the base functionality).
So that's why I hold out hope. We'll see once the churn on that internal SDK repo dies down.
Why go through all the hoops if they are instead just could refuse patches? Open source doesn't mean open to contributions, look at SQLite for example.
If they had the idea to release this open source they would have said so in clear words by now. They didn't so I don't have much hope, unless maybe if they get enough negative publicity to change their mind.
Why does VC need to ruin everything...
