So... mkm has released the source code for Danmakufu.
Danmakufu is now open source.

What does this mean for the future of Danmakufu?
Helepolis:
Split post from Q&A as it deserves its own thread (thanks for the report).

Chaos if unorganized. Followed by death.

As opposed to just death if it stayed closed. At least there's some hope for it now.

It was already long dead. This ensures nothing, because it is now up to the community to decide.
Edit: Danmakufu has been always strongly discussed on mkm's Japanese forums which you couldn't access without a Japanese IP. When he still was actively developing, several of us have reported bugs using VPN. Mkm didn't discriminate the help, but he was in control of the entire project. That control is gone now. This has nothing to do with being open or closed.
Why he decided to suddenly make it open source, who knows. So if everybody manages to combine forces and carry on a organized project, there might be good things happening. Though let us be very serious here: Language barrier is a thing.
