I think just being able to have full access to an unencrypted ROM file will benefit many people. For instance, just being able to ask the community how to disable any particular torque limiter code and being told something like "change the value @ 442F0 from 22 to 00." Done. Having hundreds of clever programmers doing this stuff for free, with no desire to monetize their knowledge or keep IP to themselves while genuinely wanting to help others helps push development forward quickly. That's the advantage of open source mapping.
