Why not make PureBasic Open Source ?

I strongly feel the "Open Source PB" sentiment would fade if PB had a plug-in system to customize/optimize the IDE.
There are many efficiencies to be had writing custom tools, but not all actions are supported with the environment variables.

if I get really bored and found no one to get PureBasic running, I will open source it (fully).

Charge a small fee for updates. It might not prevent boredom, but it'll keep you motivated in developing further.
