我要在 Github 上公开项目的进度和结果，同学听了问我，开源还有钱赚？言外之意是提醒我，知道开源的弊端吗？

我知道。开源的话，我就不能偷偷卖钱，不能虎头蛇尾，也不能控制分支。

我不能卖给灌装机设备企业，因为你都公开了，人家没有必要付钱啊。

我不能偷偷地关掉这个项目，因为万维网有记忆，会记录每个出现过的页面。如果有一天不得不关，我需要给出可信的理由。

我不能管控它向别的方向发展，因为任何人只要感兴趣，都可以复刻一份到自己的代码库，随意修改，然后宣称所有权，甚至出售代码。

Github 上没有法律保障的专利体系，只有无所不在的 git 时光机。

Do you know the disadvantages of open sourcing?

Yes, I do. Open source means I cannot sell it, cannot sweep it, and cannot control it.

I cannot sell the result of this project to the dairy industry, because they do not need to pay for something that anyone can get freely.

I cannot close the project secretly, because the Internet has memory and keeps a record of every page. If I have to, I have to close it publicly with a legitimate reason.

I cannot control the variant of this project, because anyone interested in it can fork to his repository and build a variant version, declaring it his own and even selling it out.

There is no patent system on Github, we believe in the power of open source itself.
