That's a completely different thing.

Open-source projects are copyrighted, and have licenses.

and what would you do with the source code if this was the case and you had it?

I would look at it and try to improve it.

and if jacob_ doesn't want you publishing improved versions of his game?

Why wouldn't he want that?

Because then, what's to stop people from making "improved" versions of Buildism at other places and the original site being slow and unused and no "official" games being made with this editor?

It would still be copyrighted so they couldn't do that.

Also, Runescape has open-sourced their client and their site hasn't become 'unused'.
