Mitchell Hashimoto, the creator of [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/?ref=birchtree.me), [wrote about this](https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-non-profit?ref=birchtree.me) last week:

> **I believe infrastructure of this kind should be stewarded by a mission-driven, non-commercial entity that prioritizes public benefit over private profit.** That structure increases trust, encourages adoption, and creates the conditions for Ghostty to grow into a widely used and impactful piece of open-source infrastructure.

You love to see it.
