Why isn't MovableType "open source"?

I have been wondering why MovableType is not "open source". Six Apart announced TypePad, which is designed to capture more people who don't have their weblogs now, by offering user-friendly tools, according to the press release.

It seems to me that Six Apart expects more revenues from TypePad than MovableType. If so, making MovableType be open source to let others develop MT really makes more sense to me than making efforts on further development under supervision of Six Apart's very limited resources.

Style Switcher

Stylesheetを動的に切り替える「Stylesheet Switcher」ですが、一部でうまく動かないこともあるようでした。

Stylesheet SwitcherはCookieを使ってStylesheetを記憶させるのですが、Movable Typeが標準で搭載しているCookie管理用のJavaScriptコードとちょっとバッティングしそうだったので、Stylesheet Switcherのコードをちょっと手直ししてみました。
