Hint: The community has always been in shambles. It's a feature, not a bug.

Founders aren't banished, they aren't in any gulag. They can carry on. If they produce something better, they are still the drivers.

A commentator below said, "remind me to make my own license with "I take it all down with me if you destroy me" clause....

That is explicitly _not_ and open source license.

The point is no one, neither the founders, nor any that may replace them, "take it all down with me".

You may get a fork, well then, may the best fork win.

A while back gcc was forked. Remember egcs? It was the best fork for awhile.

Then the fork merged again with gcc again.

Yup. It happens.

Life moves on.
