Does it not come down to the usual "cathedral vs. bazar" opposition? SQLite, for which Fossil was originally built, lists 3 persons on its developers page and looks pretty much like the definition of a "cathedral", where

Question regarding Iodine-131: is it still being generated inside the spent fuel / nuclear waste in Chernobyl? From what I could gather, Iodine-131 is mostly a fission byproduct, and is not present in any of the 4 decay chains[1]. If n
