releasing the source code [...] allow probes with unknown firmware connect to the atlas infrastructure. That's two completely different things. I mentioned only the first one. In my vision, modified probes were intended for another C&C, not for the Atlas service.
Okay. I assumed that with 'with instructions on how to build your own probe' you meant how to connect it to the Atlas infrastructure. But if you want to connect the probe to another C&C then you may also need the source code for the back-end. The software that runs on the probe is quite simple. The back-end is a completely different story.
