James Hall: Open source software in the real world

,----[ Quote ]
| After the release of "1.0" in 2006, I became 
| completely hands-off. I no longer submitted 
| patches to programs, I no longer wrote code 
| for my own programs. FreeDOS had grown to the 
| point where I no longer needed to be the 
| expert. Others were pushing FreeDOS to do more 
| things than I had ever dreamed possible in 
| 1994, and I was glad to see it happen.
| 
| Each maintainer must similarly find his or her 
| own motivation, and recognize that reasons for 
| staying in a project may change. And that's 
| okay.

| The project has been running ever since Microsoft said it would abandon the
| operating system when it moved to Windows 95. That was the Vole's claim at
| the time, anyway. However, it didn't really abandon DOS in Windows 95, but
| just hid it under the covers.
