I'm adopting a wait and see attitude, which is very different than if
they'd been bought by Microsoft, Redhat or Oracle. One thing that does
concern me, and please remind me of this from time to time, is that I
need to grab their source code so if the project needs forking, I have
the source (I'm not a good enough developer to actually fork it).
