open-sourced metaExplorer on github

The decision to open source was a tough one, mostly because of misconceptions I had about open source and business.

• Besides the service Model and the dual licensing Model there are other business models around open source

• No-one sells software, people sell licenses, or the value it brings to customers. E.g. Amazon Web Services is not about selling linux/databases etc., but about convenience, the fear of downtimes, the wish to use high-tech without having to learn its bells and whistles in depth

• frontend technology is easy to reverse engineer

• I can now show progress in smaller steps, visually, and users can directly play with it. Don't have to sell a "black box"

• I had profited greatly from open source myself, and wanted to even out karma ;-)

• You don't actually "lose" anything by open sourcing
