Why is the repo gone?

Why is the code repository gone?

The links on the RepRap wiki are either broken or outdated:
http://reprap.org/wiki/Creation_Workshop

On your blog you state:
"As far as Creation Workshop goes, I have been building lots of new versions and adding new features recently. Instead of posting new versions on github, I've been posting to my forum http://www.buildyourownsla.com for better visibility and faster turnaround."

This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you not use git? It's far faster to simply push changes than it is to create builds and upload to dropbox. And without hosting on github, you're preventing people from contributing to the project.

What is this repo? I don't see Steve's name in the license, and the source files I found were all java files.

Wouldn't that be a violation of the open source license that it was released under?

Can someone please PM me a checkout from when the source was open?

That's a build, I'm wanting the source.

A little clarification:
Versions up to and including version 75 will remain open-source. All version after that are closed source and will be sold on a per-license basis. The 495$ is what the software is VALUED at - but not sold at. We're planning on selling single licenses around ~75$ with full softwate support soon.

If version 75 is open source, when will the source code be re-released to the public?

I'm willing to pay for good software, but if there is no real improvements between 75 and the latest, I'd stick with the open source until I see the perceived value increase between the paid and open source software.
