Its time used to trace every bit of code be it script, sound or terrain and all the rest to see if the modder accidentally lifted it from other copyrighted sources.
An ardious task at best.
While a modder will not be chased down by other game/music/software distributers a publisher of 1C's standing will.
So in a nutshell (it has been repeated at nausium in the various threads) until they are sure no copyright infringements have taken place 4.09 will remain a beta product.
