If the solution to keep afloat was to take 5% haircut than the money situation was not bad. Bigger issue is that apparently there's no agreement between the founders how much company they own and the value of it.

Nice thing about OSS is that Elementary OS license is GNU GPL3.0 which means that project can live on if there's interest in it.

Such projects rarely live after the founder exits. Take Solus for example.

What happened to Solus after the founder exited? It still seems to be available, and their latest release was in July.

Apparently, most people on Reddit and HN feel that Solus lost its momentum after Ikey left. The relatively conservative development Solus is seeing with Josh Strobl et al. isn't sexy enough!
