Erm, because the developer has chosen this type of distribution?

I guess he will give you a definite answer soon.

At some point more than 12 years ago it seemed like a good idea to do so.

The idea of Open Source software was (and still is) cool and was appealing to me. Sadly I cannot recall the specifics anymore, it's been too long.
