Where is the sourcecode to these changes?

That is great, I really do hope people enjoy using the software.
Things like a new undo system and Mac installer would be nice to have.
 Deeper theme customization is something I am working on now, so maybe
you will alleviate some of the burden from me.

If things go well enough to continue devoting time to it, you WILL
give input (your contributions) back to the developers.  You will be
sued if you do not.  And "As Requested"?  You will make the source
code available through the same channel as your binary (Your website).
 We are not responsible for polling you every week to see if a new
version of your source exists.

Good to hear, I will be watching your website in the days to come.
Right now, there is nothing, and you don't even inform your own
customers that the source code is openly available (Maybe you do, but
it must be in the members-only portion of your site, which is too
late).

I'll be looking for it.  I still don't see why you don't commit your
enhancements directly into LMMS and just build your business around
member-only services (Like tutorials, videos, documentation).  I've
already offered you my time in making LMMS more themable.  One final
note, please read the license used by our Wiki
