And it's the provider of X who decides that, right? Not the users.

Lastly, I don't see how anyone has the right to complain about non-commercial FOSS no longer being supported, when anyone is free to fork the old project, and the people responsible were working for free. It's just self-entitled whining.
Firstly, I am not complaining. I am pointing it out. If I were complaining, I would scream, "Oh no, how could you they that? It's a crime!" Instead, I shrug and say, "What did you expect?"

Secondly, that "why don't you do it yourself" mantra is really getting old. If you want FOSS to really, and I mean really succeed, you need to get rid of that mindset. Otherwise it will forever remain to be perceived as "keep out, geeks only".
