The Perlmonks code is not hidden. I have access to it, and all I did was ask politely. However, it is not sitting on a shelf all tied up with a big red bow either. It lives in the Perlmonks database, so fetching it is something of a task and I don't believe it has been automated. Right now you have to visit all the different node types and download the source.

In short, any apparent hiding of the Perlmonks code is due to the work it would take to make it conveniently available, not to any attempts at making it proprietary.

    There are so many things wrong with that I don't know where to start, so I won't. I'll just merrily on my way and wish this site's management the best.

      I don't particularly like the situation either, but there is a huge difference in intent between "proprietary" and "inconvenient."
