There's a disturbing trend that's similar to Microsoft's Shared Source [1] initiative from last decade, used by GitLab Enterprise [2] and Greensock [3]. The code is available for anyone to download, but is not under an Open Source license. They have the option of accusing their competitors of looking at their source code.

Famo.us took too long to develop and the window is now closed shut, that is my prediction. Famo.us is interesting and fun tech experiment, but it will be the market development (lean) that decides, not me. Famo.us are behind in the market and way slow development velocity to pivot again. I'm not going to make a prediction myself, since I have a dog in this fight, but you're just spreading FUD and Github can back me up on this. As of today, Sunday May, 4, 2014, GSAP JS libs [0] have 1265 stars and 226 forks, 1 open issue and 35 closed issues. The famous github repo [1], which has been publicly available for 3-4 weeks has 3229 stars, 404 forks, 38 open issues and 119 closed issues (main repo and submodules combined).

Google wasn't the first search engine, nor was Facebook the first social network. In fact the market is littered with the bodies of first movers. And games won't be done in Famou.us either, it does not work w/ models, or modelers, but a game engine like http://typescript.away3d.com does. FWIW, One of the main creators of [redacted quantity] top 40 highest grossing video games of all times is exploring famous for his next game. Again, one of my questions still stands, have you even used famo.us? Yes or no? Also, what do java swing apps have to do with famous and GSAP?
