1) Believe it or not.. 1946 still sells, but i am sure that will stop soon, if not already (who wants to buy hacked sim - raise your hands!)
2) Pulling progamming lead off SOW development - That`s not free either...
3) And possible sale of IL-2 to third party as already mentioned....

1) What? Apart from LOMAC eh? Or what about the people desperately trying to find out where to purchase copies of the original EECH once they have seen how much better the modded EECH was than the newly released EECH2. What about Falcon 4? The newest version Falcon 4 Allied Force is based upon the hacked/modded Superpak version - and has been further extensively modded with the "Red Falcon" Mod. What about all the CFS3 nay-sayers who have been purcchasing copies so they can try out the Over Flanders Fields and Mediterranean Air Wars Mods? Or taking it one step further what about the popularity of THe Wings over Europe/Wings over Vietnam etc - all completely moddable?
I guess some "hacked" sims do sell after all...
2) Oleg stated categorically there would be no further resources devoted to 4.09 - thats why the code encryption is not being re-worked, no programming resouces
whatsoever have been diverted from BOB-SOW
3) Oleg has stated categorically that he would not licence IL2 for development by third parties
