There have been several projects closing the source of their software due to the competitors-stealing-their-code angle. All of those projects I know of are dead, because in most cases what makes them interesting is the open-source nature.
- drzaiusapelord 11y agoThis is kind of the elephant in the room isn't it? I know there are a lot of mediocre FOSS software I tolerate solely because its FOSS. I know of several commercial or free closed alternatives that are better in a lot of ways, but the FOSS angle makes it interesting to me and others (others who freely contribute support in forums, code, etc).
