For the software it means that it would require a lot of refactoring before he can continue to develop it.

It’s obvious that he uses Microsoft MFC as a development toolkit which is unfortunately not the easiest to refactor and microsoft makes it very clear that it’s an end of line technology. Even open sourcing wouldn’t help here to win developers who want to work on it.

One more problem with refactoring is not only the financial/time investment but in case of a one person project maybe even more important: motivation. You just get a burnout when working too long on some projects.
