A comment on App.net State of the Union. Parent comment
There is quite a trail of minor problems:
Eg.
Legal implications with investors/shareholders/etc
(Unlikely but) Potential security issues
Fixing the code to a level that other people can run it
Documenting the code to a level that other people understand how to run it (eg dependencies on services around it)
And i am pretty sure there are many more.
All solvable problems but in most cases come in a moment when a founder has already ran too far and is out of cash/time/energy to tackle those.
