Until then, I will not open release the source to prevent tampering with the protocol as it can cause the RC to do weird things.
You do realize that the protocol is documented by Microchip (see AN851) and http://www.astro73.com/wiki/IFI_Loader_protocol (my own documentation)? I'm not sure what you have that 3~4 other developers have missed.

And also, IFI probably will not allow you to open source it. IMHO, you need to make that choice up front.
