I think he is implying that with everything being open source it will be a heaven for people wanting to make a server whom cannot find scripters which, ask anyone, are hard to find as it is. It will be to tempting for people not to just go on copy scripts paste them to there server. Which honestly I am not against anyone who wants to do that. I do however strongly caution doing so as things might not be scripted to the most compatible, or flexible, way for your server.
That being said it does offer an easy way to learn off other peoples scripts. I remember starting out I would look at other peoples scripts and make changes and see what happens until I learned what functions do what. The other problem is you wont have privacy to work on your own scripts that you might not want to share with others, or if then implemented on your server you lose some security since people will know your scripts inside-out like the back of there hands.
I guess people feel that completely open source.. is kinda sketchy. The old testbed had public, and private, scripts you got to chose if you wanted to share or not which is personally what I prefer.
