Jacob - I'm so sorry to hear that you are closing Buildism. I really thought that this project had great potential, so the last thing I expected (even with the rumors) was that you would close down Buildism and give out the source.
I support your decision, but I do have a suggestion: why don't you allow another programmer to continue working on Buildism while you are in college? Instead of giving out everything to everyone who wants it (even though that could be beneficial to the learning experience of Java programmers), why not pick one of the following two options?
1.) Keep the project but hire a volunteer programmer to continue working on the game.
2.) Give the project to someone that you feel is qualified enough to handle taking it on and working on it on your behalf (under contract of course) until you are ready to take Buildism back.
I don't quite think that giving out the source to this huge project to everyone who wants it is the best idea, but then again, that's up to you, and either way, you have my full support.
Best of luck to you in your decision, Jacob.
