If the maintainers ever wanted to close source it, someone forks it and it continues on. Gitea just tried that earlier this year (or last). Owners tried to make it for profit, community forked it, created Forgejo, and we continue on under that name now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago Nope, Godot is open source, the current version can never become paid. If someone decided to make the next versions paid the community would just fork it and keep working on the free version.
