Making ZC Open Source could easily (especially if it were intentional) cause forks and separate ZC camps. This would be one of the easiest and most effective ways to cause us problems.
3. The protection granted by the GPL would be practically useless to us given ZC's own shaky legal standing.
As for a GamePark port, one is currently being worked on for the GP2X.
