Who's going to maintain the software? Open source projects abandoned by founding companies don't have a stellar track record.
- jstanley 9y agoOpen source projects abandoned by founding companies have a better track record than SaaS projects abandoned by founding companies. Anybody who is interested can maintain it. If it has a large number of people actively using it to conduct business on a daily basis, somebody will maintain it. If it's big enough that lack of maintenance would be a problem, it won't be a problem.
