I had another thought, more unformed, and mostly only relevant once 'popularity strikes'. Maybe not relevant at all. Suppose a maintainer gets a real liking for a particular project, develops a passion and invests a load of time. They can be rug-pulled at any time when the project owner - on a whim - decides help is no longer needed. The project owners freedom is assured. They can do anything, like take the project commercial and go proprietary from then on. This might cause big "drama" esp. when a maintainer also built community. It might not reflect badly on Code Shelter, but may be something to think about these situations.
- stavros 3y agoYeah, there are definitely a bunch of edge cases like this, but the main problem right now is that there aren't enough people for these to even happen, so having that sort of stuff to deal with would be a good problem to have.
