Sure smells like commercialization to me.I emailed Stephane Rehel once offering help to develop Moonlight but never got any reply.
The source for 0.5.3 (or something) was made available, and since it's GPL:ed I guess those who are interested could branch of that version and continue to developing a new version on that. Problem is that the codebase was *huge* 100-150k lines and poorly documented.
I personally don't think there is much point in wasting time on that code though, probably better to start from scratch with a new node/plugin based design. A lot of the old code was for the GUI library and so on, and with gtk+ available that seems unnecessary to me.
