This is the risk you run when using these handy-dandy programs that are released without the original source-code.
When the original developer:
1) loses interest and moves on.
2) sees their work as "complete" and moves on.
3) is selfish in nature and more concerned with being the "I did it first, you should do something else" guy....
then users who have adopted the program are S.O.L. when bugs crop up... and an interested party can't pick up the pieces and carry on where the original developer left off.
Never mind the fact that you don't have any clue what the program is actually
doing to your computer (back-doors, phone-homes, unknown payloads) for sure.
I'm not saying this particular programmer had anything malicious in mind (and anyone is free to guard their source if they so choose), but I'm not running any code on my machine (from a programmer that I don't know from Adam) if the source code isn't included in the download.
My policy: "No source, No use."
