Nope. Nope. Nope.

Then years of my work will be lost.

This is of course a nightmare worst case scenario that might
never happen, but to have the option to read the code, and
to know that others also have the option to read the code is
an incredibly strong insurance that no such malicious code
get through.

If you want to keep your ideas hidden, then that's one
business model, but that does not go well together with open
source - which I think is what FEX is fundamentally built upon.
