Well i am not talking about impulsive “make repo private” type of action but rather the team that maintains large open source projects to take coordinated action in moving, removing or updating the license of their projects.
Forking code is not an issue - i can fork half of github and it wont mean much without maintenance.

Well....yeah? open source doesn't mean you don't have to do anything to make it work. Many times I've forked a project, cleaned up maintenance issues so it ran on my instance, and then did a pull request so the original author could incorporate the update.
While we are blessed with many turn-key projects that require little more installation effort than following detailed instructions, FOSS is supposed to be a community effort, not something falling on the shoulders of a tiny maintenance team.
They can't; part of the premise of the project is that they come up with privacy advances that are deployed network-wide by controlling both the client and the server. See Matrix for an example of how hard it is to get very basic privacy controls up and running when you don't control the client.
(I always come across sounding like I'm dunking on Matrix; I like Matrix. Different project, different goals.)
Ueberzug aims to implement a general easy way to show images in terminal emulators in X11.
(regardless of whether or not a terminal emulator supports it)
Libraries:
- bash
- python3.5+
Advantages to w3mimgdisplay:
- no race conditions as a new window is created to display images
- expose events will be processed, so images will be redrawn on switching workspaces
- tmux (partly) supported
- terminals without the WINDOWID environment variable are supported
- chars are used as position - and size unit, so it's easier to place a image on the desired position
This will just lead to forks (if your project was popular).
