On the bright side, if they do that Godot will just Fork, the same way Urho3D did. This would be a big bow but it may also be a small chance to truly dig in and fix some of the issues that were talked about for years in the community.

But I'm probably just daydreaming.

Wait, what happened with Urho? I thought they were going strong (aside from a few who tried to take their code and just rename it)… did I miss some news?

This link gives a brief explanation: https://gamefromscratch.com/urho3d-is-dead-ish/

You can also see that the Urho3d repo is readonly on Github. I don't know which fork is the most active but there are a few that sprung out of the mess.
