Is my imagination or do software companies often meet a fork Thinking Red Hat and Fedora, Unix, Darwin, to Linux and macOS. Bitcoin and the myriad forks.
I don't know why a fork would have to be doomed but I can see obvious questions with the ethos of military defense, surveillance and infrastructure sponsoring conscientious open source software developers.
Could Anduril, not show some appreciation by making a public donation and license a proprietary fork? Or they just want to outright buy and make it proprietary code?
