> But others perhaps care. So I strongly encourage you to open-source it if you don't care about it anymore. This is false thinking in my mind. Others may care, but that does not mean they have the right to guilt someone into releasing the source for _their creation_. On a grander scale - nothing lasts forever. Not even stars. So, we don't need to preserve everything - this is very egoic mind to me. It is ok to let things die and be forgotten. Software, art, ideas, songs, poems included. If the creator of these things decides to not release it to the world, that is _their_ prerogative.
