Google / abc has a solid track record of open sourcing shutdown projects. See Makani[1] and iirc also Loon. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24456613 h

Aha! I wasn’t at all aware of that. Okay, this reads more like that to me second time around. Just excitement to open source a cool piece of tech that came from Stadia.

Another example is Google Wave, which was also open sourced after it was shut down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave https://incubator.apache.org/projects/wave.html https://incubator.apache.org/projects/wave.html Apache Wave was retired in 2018, but the source remains at least.

  Apache Wave is still one-click installable on Sandstorm and occasionally hilarious to share instances of with people. Won't do it here though, would kill my poor Intel NUC, Wave is not exactly performance-friendly.

  Always nice to see my old work pop up! I'm really proud to have worked on the team that opensourced wave!
