Reading what Stainless is/was - why was this a company and not an open source project?

Stainless is way more than just the codegen. If you’re curious I did write some details when responding to another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48191376

But Fern is a (great) Stainless competitor that went the open source way, so that could have been an option, at least for parts of it: https://buildwithfern.com/.

There is more context but I don’t think it’s my story to tell
