I guess that it is only a question of money.

I cannot speak for bruce but my guess is that if you pay bruce 1,000,000$ then
he is going to give ferret to you.

Maybe bruce wait for the right person who will offer him 1,000,000$.

There are some people in the world who have more than 1,000,000,000$ and it is
possible that one of them is going to pay.

I do not think that it is going to happen  but it is possible that bruce prefers
not to do ferret public for the small chance that it is going to happen.

Bruce can have also other reasons not to sell his program  and not to give it
and I have no problem with his decision.
