MODERATORS
It's extra work they don't totally see the value in and they want to be able to sell their product? Those seem like pretty normal reasons not to maintain an open source project.
It is 5 minutes of work to use your source control tool, and have a read only view for other people.
Being open source doesn't mean you have to accept PRs or pay for audits. It just means your source is... Open...
Even if you don't accept PRs, you'll get people who want you to. Having the source open will generate a good amount of support email that is about modifications to your code. People can't help it.
