    Just wanting to make sure I understand your position, only open source code can be ethical?

    That is interesting and a bit anarcho, and I will not say I disagree, but I am of two minds given my distinct role on both sides of the line. We have made some of our code public, but there are privacy and security concerns given we are handling people's personal data and private artwork, so exposing the whole codebase exposes potential security flaws, so keeping parts closed source makes sense. Balancing people's privacy has to be a consideration as well when dealing with offering services.
