>> this is a ludicrous statement. the Express.js transfer of ownership was a ridiculous fiasco full of angry drama, hurt feelings
True, I should rephrase; from the consumer's point of view it turned out fine :p
The project is still healthy.
About ExpressJS, I did read something about one of the main developers not even being aware that the transfer was happening until the last minute. I also heard that there might have been money involved and it probably wasn't a fair process. There are a lot of ethical dilemmas there. A transfer of ownership doesn't have to be this nasty though.
