Because:
1. I do read the source, and also compare between versions the changes so I can 
decide if I need/want the new changes.
2. I actually change software from time to time and also merge my changes 
upstream
3. I prefer free-software out of principle
WATTCP may work for me, but is that actively maintained/updated?

No, WATTCP is not maintained anymore for a long time. That said, the (so far) last Open Source version of mTCP is in fact still Oen Source, so you can do all of the above just fine. And Michael has going by his words on his web site not excluded that mTCP might become Open Source in later versions again, he just got fed up with people nagging...

That said, as far as I am concerned, mTCP is the better (performing) option, be it Open Source or not.
