Re: Sadly...
Not true. I held back on open sourcing hivelytracker (http://code.google.com/p/hivelytracker/) for years because the code is truly horrible. In the end I caved because people wanted to port it, but the comment at the top of gui.c says it all:
/*
** Abandon all hope all ye who enter here
** (consider this fair warning)
*/
and I have other projects that I would want to seriously refactor before opensourcing :)
