Why keep the backend closed source?

Just simply out of curiosity, why keep the back-end for dmd closed 
source?  It would make life dev'ing on PowerPC linux so much nicer if I 
could just compile dmd myself instead of having to use an outdated 
version of gdc (no offense to the great job being done with gdc, it's 
just a bit dated at this point.
