Yeah, we always knew there were. Open source can't stop existing because there are bad actors.

So you're saying that if projects continue choosing to sunset without handing over the keys to the kingdom, open source will stop existing?

This is simply not even close to true.

Edit: I can't reply to your reply, so here will do. You've completely ignored my main point. I get that you want projects to pass on the torch, but saying open source will otherwise die is ridiculous.

"Continue choosing to sunset"? A large amount of projects does not sunset, it gets passed on instead.
