In open source field the thing is you share. But it doesn't work if you're the only one who is sharing.

It's not. Open Source does not mean free as in free beer! Unfortunately, the majority of people think it does.
SC is not an Open Source project either.

It's your personal decision to share your code but that does not conclude that others have to do the same. I understand your reasoning behind it and yes, if someone is using Open Source software, he/she should give back. Unfortunately, it's not always the case and a lot of people are leeching from other's people work.

Despite SC not being Open Source, it would be nice if they could provide SC as an SDK (core functionality without the UI stuff). This would allow other people to come up with their own UI implementations and using the core of SC. SC is already separating the logic from the UI and phasing out all of the OS-dependent code so a native Linux (and other OS as well) version would be feasible.
