By getting a lot of support from these DW guys and say yes and band together for a big crowd to release a SDK.
I’m surprised at how little people know about business, let alone the business for making software. Companies will not give something away for free when doing it can make them money. Especially if they are already charging for it in one of their other forms of buiness.

If it's counter productive to how S.C.S does it's business, whether that is on the government side or commercial, they won’t do it. It won’t matter if you have the entire forum signing “yes” or not. It won't matter if they all are kicking or screaming about it either.

90% of S.C.S business is government contract work, and they use the game engine for DW in government simulations. They also charge good money to add platforms and other things to the engine per contract basis. If they release the SDK, they’d be giving away one of their capabilities to make money for their business.
