Hence why I asked the question... And not everybody does everything for commercial reasons, so it would be dumb to assume that and therefore not ask the question.

Where in my question did you get that I expect to get source code for free in ways that I don't for other work?

But regardless, you do know that open source is a common thing right? People open source things all the time, especially on HN.

Also OP already says they don't do any uploading of your videos to the cloud, so this thing already runs local-only. It's not like there is a shortage of video editors around (including ... open source ... video editors)
