It's it 'beware' or is it 'the system works'?

This looks to be a successful fork, which is the whole point of free & open software. The company that was maintaining it isn't forced to do so forever, and if they choose to stop doing so, or choose to do so I'm a way that a substantial part of the consuming community dislikes, then a form can happen. I see this as a huge demonstration of why it is ok to use an opensource product from a single for-profit entity - they can't take that choice away from me

The fun thing is that even though there had been that announcement over a week ago, and the deadline expiring one week ago, there actually isn't a fork yet that's publicly available. I'll call it successful once it's public & there's some evidence of a diverse set of contributors from various companies.
