This is not a "opening up" of anything but the source code, with a permissive license. You're free to fork and change anything you want, but it won't be upstreamed ever as the author did the open sourcing because they are stopping maintenance of the project.
So this is more of a "closing down" with the gift of leaving us with the source code. And for that Allen Webster, I thank you!
