The archives are simply that: an archive of Euphoria programs,
source or not. Source is not required to show-off a Euphoria program's
features.
I do understand your concern about running closed-source programs. However,
I trust that Rob would not post something to the archive that will be
damaging to my PC. That's why I don't mind closed-source programs...
they're coming from a site I can trust.

I think download.com charges for hosting (right William?). I don't know
about the others.
Software authors are not required to share their source. I've got several
contributions in the archive, all open source, but there are projects on
the board that I will submit that I will not reveal the source.
(I also have projects I won't (or can't) submit to the archive that won't
be open source... code written under contract for commercial reasons. :) )
