    Notably, in these cases you usually only need to track down a last-known-good commit hash and any GitHub fork of the original project, and GitHub will happily let you view and fetch that commit even if it's not included in that particular fork. (People have called this a bug, but for this kind of code rescue it's more of an unintentional feature.) In this particular case, https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/commit/ca37e593fe07177f409639933392b4c2fa94f736 https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/commit/ca37e593fe... (five commits newer than GGP’s reference, which has commit a0d3e7ce1f5b015962e9d538f94cd517a9a79692) seems to be the last FOSS revision before the maintainer deleted everything. $ git clone https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI $ cd PySimpleGUI $ git fetch origin ca37e593fe07177f409639933392b4c2fa94f736 $ git switch -c foss FETCH_HEAD

        Thanks to you and @mananaysiempre I've made a mirror just in case. Didn't mention your names in the README as I weren't sure if you wanted to be mentioned or not. https://github.com/andor-pierdelacabeza/PySimpleGUI-4-foss https://github.com/andor-pierdelacabeza/PySimpleGUI-4-foss

    Was I the only one reading the “20231209” date as “20 231 209 snapshots” and going like “that’s an insane amount of captures how did that happen?” before realizing that I was reading it wrong

  Thanks for clearing that up... I was reading "If you use PySimpleGUI 4, don't worry! PySimpleGUI 5 is backward compatible with PySimpleGUI 4." and wondering "why, then, the major version number change?". Well, in that case, users who don't want to pay for v5 can still fork v4 and maybe keep working on it?

  > We appreciate the support we received, but the amount has been too small to support the PySimpleGUI project. It's weirdly difficult to tell who I'd be giving money to if I were to donate to the project. I just put a few minutes of clicking into it and couldn't figure it out. I can't imagine donating to a project without knowing who would receive the money.

  You can see in the "Activity" tab what the last commit to each branch was before they deleted it. For master, it was https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/commit/1fa911cafee687ef50e024b580d5351c398ef7d1 https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/commit/1fa911cafe...

  I was surprised to see my fork here. Is it the only one? [I guess it's the most recent] I think I just submitted a minor patch/PR. Edit: yep. https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/pull/6619 https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/pull/6619 See also https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/forks https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/forks
