I understand there is now a company behind them driving the direction, but are they not still open source? If the community feels they lost their way couldn't we split?

    In this day of age, it's easier than ever to fork - thanks to AI. But open source isn't open source isn't open source.

    MIT license, BSD license, Apache license, GNU license, etc - the worst being "source available", whereby the license still requires you to subscribe or pay for a service.

    Generally the Muse Score debacle was a problem of open source freemium software - whereby important functionality was only found in the proprietary commercial binary blob.

    It's "fake it until you make it open source".
