  Misleading headline: only FUSE for MacOS became closed source. Linux and Windows FUSE are still open source: https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp

  Can't fault him. It is his right to release his software his way. Shame on the companies that failed to support him. I hope he squoze the freeloading ones good and hard, after.

And it's probably more likely for a company to hire someone else to work on the project than to hire the original developers. Well, time to port BSD PortalFS back to macOS.
