Why I abandoned this about em-dosbox HOT 4 OPEN

First of all, I want to say thank you for sharing this site, much appreciated.

After noticed this project is no longer in support, I decided to let go EM_DOSBOX but will still continue the learning of C/C++ Enscripten.

Often, technical and business peoples are always in conflict situation, we have to find a balance in between them.

That said, with technical knowledge is not enough, we must also think of ways to commercialize because we need money to pay electrics bill, water bill, house loan, buy better computer hardwares, and software licenses for the ongoing development.

GNU GPL allows the author to sell software and there is no limit to charge, check it HERE and more about GPL "Selling" article is HERE, below is the extraction of the context.

Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?
Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)

Personally, I don't mind contribute some money ( eg. costs a cup of coffee ) to receive support that valuable to my current project. If everyone starts pumping little dollars to the pool, surely author and his or her readers will be happy.

Hopes, this help.

We all support you all the way, do what is best for you!
And if you are getting bored and want to do something and you have free time to fix some bugs then you can do that too.
Please understand there is no pressure for you to do anything or expectations because this is an open source project after all.
All you can do is pick someone to manage the issues at least so the project is not totally abandoned, someone that can accept the incoming pull requests and so on.

Ok, you started something fantastic and I know exactly where you're coming from. This project does live on, we all have our own forks with our own little modifications because of what you have done.

Never feel bad for not responding to issues, you have have spawned something amazing, why should it all be on your shoulders.

With the best regards always . . .
