From our local suggestions board:

The idea is to make the ogame code public. Then every interested and skillful user will be able to find and correct bugs, etc.

With this source "everyone" is able to start an ogame clone without costs for the development.
I dont think that GF will think about this. They have already "problems" with ogame clones.

Also good programmers will possibly find bugs and will use them to get additional resources for example.

I think that would just create more options for cheaters.

All this would do is make things easier for the competition, not a good move...

It would be great for ideas & suggestions because all changes could be checked ingame before going public.
And if we wanted to make a new ship or new building we could test how it looks like in practice.
But as it was said code would be spread widely and it would be too easy to copy to a new game.

My dream is to make sth like a new option in Ogame but after logging in, where You could test some new improvements, ships, researches but without code - just with text boxes.
You could fill it in with shield, attack, cost, name and so on and make some tests.

OGame code as "Open source" will never come. There are a lot of reasons against.

Bad idea as said all the previous guys...
Nothing more to add...
