Release source code for Scratch Link on micro:bit

[PPPDUD]

Currently, the source code for the Scratch Link protocol is not provided for micro:bit devices, even though you provide compiled .hex files.

There is not any practical reason to keep the source code secret unless you are trying to hide something bad.

Why have you not released the source code to this supposedly innocent software?

A very practical reason is that they would need approval from someone, most likely their lawyers, to release the source.

I suppose if they licensed their code from some proprietary vendor, but I can't think of any reason that would be advantageous.
