If you read my article carefully: I started the first steps on this 10 years ago ... then I was trying to build something proprietary, but gave up on it as it was an insane amount of work for one person financing himself.

After that I started really getting involved with Apache and all sorts of projects.

5 years after my first attempt I started a new attempt, this time open-source and that worked from a project perspective.

I wrote it in my own blog, because I am stopping free commmunity support for myself. It's not the project stoping this. Apache is a non-profit charity and it's dangerous for it to be accused of having monetary interests in what it does.

In order to separate what I had to say from the project I published it on my blog and not even on the mailinglist (I sent a link though explaining why I'll be less active).

Hope that explains things. The title of this thread however was a bit mis-leading.
