Unfortunately Qora will release the SC when the coin is 'established'.
I can't see anyone saying Qora is 'established' if it's in the 30's on Coinmarketcap however much development progress has been made.
But we won't get any serious buying until people know it's OS (my opinion)
So what we have here is a classic catch 22 and therefore don't expect it to be released anytime soon. And when it does get released it will smell of desperation and no one will care.
Nice coin, terrible community strategy.

It does not have to be all or nothing.
What about splitting source into independent components and opening them one by one ?
Crypto would be the first to open because many are interested to review how secure it is and if Qora made any mistakes there. Also if it's standard then clones already know it anyway.
I guess relationship between addresses and seed can be opened too.
Novel parts of the code like tracking of chained pending transactions and rolling them back can stay hidden - everybody can see it functioning, so no need to open it for easy clones.
I guess Qora knows better what is sensitive to disclosure and what is not.
Modularization can greatly help to split work between developers in the future, so it's worth Qora's effort to do it.
Each module could have own release lifecycle and well defined API to interact with other modules.
There was one vote for the whole thing "all or nothing".
How about voting for each module separately ?
just like NXT did
