Probably true. But perhaps a limited SDK would be possible. The limitation could be, that you cannot create new units but that you could enhance the existing ones and other areas, like AI, engine, mission editor and so on.

Regarding the comparison to SBPro. I don't know the license politics of SCS in detail, but is DW not only licensable to endusers and not to commercial/government users?

Anyway, an official statement of SCS regarding this issue and the future of DW in general, would be nice. In the other case, this topic arise in the community on a regulary basis, which does not have any positive effects.
