I wonder would this be better as a KickStarter project - contributors get their money back if there is not enough total?

2nd thing I wonder is why do they need money to develop the open source-version. If they just published the source as open source wouldn't that be it? Further open-source-developers then could develop it further.

The site has a note that if the devs think they haven't made enough money by this time next year, "refundable" donations will be refunded, minus the 4% processing fee.
