No, it's just good sense. If you're adopting an open source project then you clearly think the project has merit. So the people who created this project should be considered for maintaining the company fork, since they clearly know what they're doing.

- kortilla 6y agoThat doesn’t follow. There have been many projects that I’ve seen forked internally because the original author didn’t know how to write tests, maintain performance, etc. Open source projects are often very poorly maintained so being the steward of one that’s interesting does not actually qualify you to productize it for a company.
