the core of Elite Project its che galaxy map and newtonian system a mammoth job of 5 years maybe. All that can be re-used for the new Elite universe, "just" using them in a new graphic engine and with new graphic, but a very large part of the job simulating a galaxy is basically already done and they can concentrate on other aspet of the game, like more planet missions and sidequests on planetsn a gorgoeus graphic of a various universe with nebula, asteroids belt etc.....
So i vote no for open source and let them develop a new Elite
