Refer to last facebook Bob's post: https://www.facebook.com/BobWri

In his last days Bob was asking himself what to do with RC3.
Publishing source code on GitHub was an option but he didn't do it.
So I think we have to respect his will as he wrote: RC3 is free but not open source.

Publishing an installation package with the latest version that he has made available (free to all) I think is legitimate compared to what he has left us said.
I don't know if he realized. But his vb.net binary was always un-obfuscated. For years. So it turns back into source rather easily using reflector.net etc

So if something needs patching one day it's probably not that hard.
