Creator Mitchell Hashimoto believes critical infrastructure should be stewarded by mission-driven entities prioritizing public benefit. The structure enables transparent donation management while Hashimoto remains project lead with full decision authority. Nothing changes technically—Ghostty stays open source (MIT license) with the same roadmap. The move protects against future commercialization and ensures the project can outlive its creator. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
