Yes, they got to keep my solution. I basically told the guy "You are free to propose your own".
As to open sourcing, not going to happen.
Companies treat the code as if it was tangible good. If you give it to somebody else you are loosing value.
Which is super strange, because code needs to be maintained and why not have other people do it for you if they find it valuable and worth maintaining?
