This notion that software must have a community is really tiresome and reeks of entitlement. Most people who create OSS projects are doing so in their spare time as a charitable endeavor and don&#x27;t want to support it forever. Open sourcing end-of-life products so they can possibly have a second life as open source software, serve as code examples to the community and be preserved as part of our collective history is undoubtedly a good thing. Spreading the idea that only supported community-driven OSS is worthy of existence is basically asking anybody who ever open sources anything to commit to involving themselves with it indefinitely.<p>If that&#x27;s the barrier to entry, I suspect you&#x27;ll see a lot less open source software going forward into the future. ;)
