*side projects that aren't already a for-profit endeavor (why would someone sell it if they're already making/planning to make money?)
Isn't there a bias because open-sources projects are those more easily seen ?
What happens to those projects that are put on "wait" ? I doubt everyone just put-on his work free of consequences
this is a very smart comment
Personally if I start hacking on something, and the idea doesn't immediately stand out as something I might want to build a business out of, it goes straight to a public GitHub repo.
