    wow, they “killed” an open source project… did they really think it was that easy?

        That’s on paper. It’s extremely unlikely that they set an LLC with millions of dollars in assets. The reason they set up the LLC was that if they got sued they could settle for any amount, knowing that they would just declare bankruptcy and pay nothing except their legal fees (which, having settled immediately, are very low)

      The main developers won’t be touching it. That’s a pretty big deal since they were the lifeblood of the project.

      Potentially recoverable, but still a big deal.

      Second. There’s no chance that a “reputable” site. Like GitHub, gitlab, etc will be hosting any of these projects for long. That’s significant too.
