    Am I missing something? They keep saying that open-source projects could be “made proprietary” as if the original will disappear just because someone made a closed-source clone of it. Obviously it would suck to have a company make and use a private clone rather than contribute back, but is there any legal mechanism that might force the original to shut down?
