> Open-source projects never die
They do kind of die. Most of them, when the founder quits, the project just remains in github (etc) forever, not exactly dead but not alive either.
I am really in favor of companies that go out of business or products that quit open sourcing their software. I mean; all the popular Google products that were pulled, like Inbox, Rss reader and whatever more; why the hell didn't they open source those. I know ; probably something something legal, but that is a total waste.
I guess most companies, even after going out of business, will never do this.
