I would like to propose something different, surprised not to see it before: a pledge to make the code open-source but only if the project cannot be maintained any longer. Ideally through a 3rd-party escrow but a founder's promise should be fine too. I am happy to pay for the service as long as it's provided but would like to know I could set it up on my server if the founder decides to stop maintaining the tool 10 years from now.
