Note though, the code is not Music, it rots quickly without maintenance. The "social contract" of contributing the code is what it will be maintained by collective community, otherwise many companies would just keep it as private forks.
It is wonderful thing though, with Open Source, people can band together and "pull Valkey" to create well maintained fork based on all those past contributions

Code in which a vulnerability is discovered is in the same position. It's developed a susceptibility to a new force malevolent to its purpose. It doesn't have to change to rot, it suffices for the world to change around it.
