Because people have put their trust into you and you owe them something for that.
better to shut down a project and walk-away for example, then leave it up, never update it, have a vulnerability get exposed, and have everyone using your product get owned
- acqq 7y ago> you owe them something Definitely not. The companies even sell products, for which everybody directly pays, and then owe even to the millions of users nothing once they have sold the product (actually sold the "license"). I've even had to buy the exactly same product (the license) more than once, every time I've changed the platform or even just changed the computer. So if I publish anything as open source, free for anybody to use, I own even less to anybody with whom I don't have a paid contract for support.
- imtringued 7y agoYour answer to the problem of malicious actors squatting domains is to shutdown the legitimate one? Did I read that right? keepass.com won't stop serving malware even if the keepass project has been abandoned. Your solution just makes the problem worse.
