>Why don't you buy the project?
lol, unless the software has a sign-off policy that means anyone who ever contributed would be entitled to a share

Isn't companies buying open-source projects a GPL violation? at least if that project isn't under an MIT license (cuck license)

``Buying the project'' could also mean taking control of the project's direction and management. Also, there is no problem paying anyone who has ever contributed. They just don't care enough to do either of those things, except in regards to the Linux kernel itself.

this is not true, the dont buy projects because at the exact moment where they do so everyone drops out or forks the project.

Oracle bought opensource projects like MySQL or open office and now those have clones that are even better.
