    Being open source mean nothing if no one else can continue development, other than that yeah pretty great

      Being open source means exactly that, anyone can fork it and continue development if need be. I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say

        Maybe he was talking about capacity to develop further or fix bugs. In theory a community can do that (and actually do in many instances) but sometimes development of a community fork tagnates due to the lack of resources.

        Best example to disprove this theory is … Nextcloud. Owncloud went ahead and developed a new version in go to scale more easily but next cloud is the defacto standard for most people that were using own cloud before the fork.
