I find the licensing model described in a previous blog post https://fman.io/blog/transparency/ quite interesting:

If no commit is made to fman in more than 6 months, then it will be open sourced under a BSD license.

I'd like more closed source developed software adopting this model. Perhaps there could be a service automating this type of promise, especially for software with a bus factor 1. :)

Edit: Fixed autocomplete spelling errors.

Thanks. Yes, it would be nice to have a platform that offers this. I haven't been able to find a simple ready-made solution though. So my "backup" in case I do get hit by a bus is my family.
