I'm talking about social responsibilities. Not about legal liabilities.

If there is not implied social responsibility that PSF keeps python running, then no one will be using it.

Why? As long as python.exe runs code, people will use it. And there's too much money invested in it for people that have done so to let it just die.

Because PSF says they will support Python? What happens when there is a bug? You fork Python? PSF gets 3 million in revenue per year. Where do you think the money goes? Python is not a hobby project.
