What's the reasoning behind this[1]? It strikes of ulterior motives and turns me off, as a potential user. Any official response from Cloudflare? [1]https://li

  We're really happy to work with the WireGuard. We communicated with Jason throughout the process and have a ton of respect for him and the entire WireGuard community. In the short term, we need the flexibility to quickly update our code base to support the project we built it for. That's harder when you need to coordinate with people outside Cloudflare and when we need to move as fast as we plan to. However, we really believe in open source and want the WireGuard community to thrive. We licensed the code very openly (3-clause BSD) and WireGuard may choose to fork it. If they do, we'll support it and plan to contribute any improvements in our own fork back. Over the long term, we're very open to merging this back into the upstream project.

    Thanks for the reply. From what I understand, Jason was willing to make your guys head of a sub-project. I'm failing to see how this would hinder your development, considering you've probably got your own build and deployment systems anyway. The way you've done it feels like a 'chuck the code over the fence' style of interaction, which again - I can't see any rationale, from a project perspective (imho)
