OFT uses Open Source which others don't use

Since OFT uses open source software, tunes can be shared readily without the fear of being sued for sharing without permission. This means there are less restrictions to the sharing of knowledge, like PFI_DI thresholds. These tables weren't in the current RomRaider definitions, but the memory addresses and code was shared with anyone who wished to add it to their definition, and now we can edit those thresholds. There was no patent or copyright violation in sharing RomRaider code, since it is open source. Open source leads to faster freer development, since it isn't limited by old-fashioned patent or copyright laws as much as commercial software is.
