That&#x27;s an interesting choice.  I&#x27;m sorry, I scanned the blog and didn&#x27;t see this mentioned.  It certainly creates a higher hurdle for a sale.<p>I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;ve considered all the options, but may I ask why you didn&#x27;t choose to offer current subscribers an &#x27;opt-in&#x27; option for being contacted by a new publisher?  That way those who were interested in continuing with a new owner would be able to, and those who were only interested in your product wouldn&#x27;t be bothered.  (Again, I wasn&#x27;t able to find the blog post where you mentioned being approached by possible owners, so if you answered this question there, I apologize.)<p>But if you open source everything (as mentioned in another one of your comments), that&#x27;d be great too.
