Scott doesn't, and it's his baby.

Anything I put into the IDE would be fair game.  If I need to protect
something I'll just make a plug-in.

Besides, it's only a risk to the degree that someone can get people to pay
for something that's also freely available.

And in this case it's even less likely to be an issue since the file frmat
is proprietary and requires a license from Rev to use.
