> Nope, is just that a useful open source project for me has always public report and that's the basis to start collaborating.

> All of it, anybody using the open source, should be free to use, modify and collaborate on a project independently from the mental issues of the one that started it. closing repos just goes against all of this and should be a shame.

You are making a false assumption that open source software is about the author surrendering is rights and forced collaboration. It is not.

Open source software is about the use of a license that grants the end user rights to study, modify and publish modifications (basically giving rights to fork) under the same or compatible license, often with mandory author attribution. There is nothing in these licenses about original author duties on maintaining a project open to collaboration, it is only about user rights.
