Sorry, I'm not fluent in English, I hope this won't be too confusing.

I think if you open source code, someone will take it at some point and make a business out of it.

M0NKA made a good SDR transceiver about 10 years ago, a Chinese company cloned it and sent their own customers to it for support and updates...

Some guys made uSDR, the code was open source, a Chinese company cloned it. And there are many other examples.

As someone said earlier: you don't have to support it. I agree: you can freeze the code on github, that's the only way. If they're competent, they'll figure it out.

PS: I was in charge of promoting a web sdr for my radio club, so I installed an openwebrx at home with an sdrplay and my own kiwisdr for demonstration, because I know that one of the interest of kiwisdr is to be able to be used at the same time by different people.

After the demonstration everyone agreed that kiwisdr was the way to go. But they have since seen information about the other one, and they prefer this one now! I am really frustrated about this.
