That's true -- but the circumstances are notably different. 1. xFree86 kicked Keith Packard out and he joined up with Xorg/free desktop.
2. Most XFree86 devs migrated to X.org
3. The License Change. And this is key. The switch to a GPL v2-incompatible license. that made it incompatible with the Linux kernel and almost every project. Moreover, the major users of XFree86 were linux and Unix-like distro. That's a big market but comparably small with the number of projects that use OpenSSL. Could OpenSSL disappear? Yes. But it won't happen overnight, simply because of the existing number of projects that use it. |
