The choice to release the code as part of sunset clause for us was a no brainer and we always knew if we were to stop being commercially viable that the code needed to be available.

That said we would strongly discourage people forking the project, not because we don't believe in forking but simply if we felt it was viable to carry on building on it we would have done!

Instead what we would love is for other membership plugins to take a look at our data structure and payment handler to help them build migration tools to help our customer base migrate.

I'm really proud of what YM achieved and it's very mixed emotions closing and a really hard choice but we think it was the right choice overall.
