Open source driver?

Much appreciate this project exists.
Just wondering if there's any plan to open source the driver?
Is it not open source?
LATER: I see now that it isn't, which sucks really.
I hope the driver code can be opened as well since my keyboard will not work sometimes I use USB switcher to switch my keyboard, it seems a driver bug.
Indeed that bug makes this library useless to me, see: #145
I mean it works as long as you don't plug and unplug devices 🤣
@oblitum if you still want to make companies pay you, I recommend you release the driver as open source under AGPL 3.0 with option to pay for a commercial license.
The fact that #25 has remained unfixed for 6 years and the open source community can't build on your work to improve the software is disappointing.
@jtroo to "make someone pay me" doesn't sound about right. There's plenty options currently available, and I'm looking into redeveloping it when I can, while I admit it has been frozen for quite a while, I'm analyzing rewriting, and it was somewhat beneficial to wait, because Microsoft rules over driver development has changed drastically over the years, and I'm sure it was a pain in the **** for those that had to deal with that while it happened. And last but not least, people and companies still pay for it.
@oblitum Options? There are more up to date + open source options that does the same thing? Could you link them? As this does not even install for me, thanks.
