Maybe I'm naiive, but can I oppose some things? Again I know this isn't for me. I didn't come to nostr development from the corporate software world so I see things a little different. I come from the tinker/hacker space. In my old work almost nothing was open source because were making very niche things with a very outdated skillset, we were all electrical and firmware engineers.
I think very often in the OSS space (like all open source), devs take the "fork it" approach because the devs are very opinionated and their project is a one-of-many side gig. They don't know how to handle collaboration, copyrights, probably barely know how to use git and collaboration software like Github.
But since I came to nostr it does really feel like the nostrsoft projects are GitHub star chasing. While I don't agree, I also understand the incentives, get attention such that someone will see your project and maybe hire/pay you for your skills, not your project. And every new project a dev creates, they just used it to broaden their skillset.
I also think some projects are meant for private collab. For me, I think want noscrypt to be a free personal project only because I'm focused about the direction I want to take it in. I also see how financial incentives affect development and I want noscrypt to be immume from that. Some software was meant to be a product, and should conform, and some should not.
