OpenTorment developers 2 years later: "We at SunHat Enterprises would like to thank our contributors for their hard work over the past 2 years. While OpenTorment Community Edition will still be available, we have decided to switch to an internal development model for future versions due to extreme community overhead, with the source code available to our Platinum Partner Members with a minimum spend of 200.000 USD per annum"

@alda Also as you might have noticed in the previous years we have set up "the community", events and basically the complete ecosystem surrounding the open source software in such a way that forking the software is possible but futile. *evil laughter*

@kraftner "Everyone is free to fork if they like y'all — I like saying y'all a lot because it's my only personality trait".

@alda In my head I always hear the music playing to:

> You can fork any time you like,
> but you can never leave

@kraftner "New rule: you are not allowed to endorse your own products at local user group events and tickets need to be sold through our US based B-corp".
