Impressive. I thought the only way you were allowed to quit working on an open source project was to commit a new version where you delete everything and introduce a chunk of code to put clients into an infinite loop. I'm impressed Igor was able to find an alternative. /s (More seriously though, his work is impressive and I hope his next adventure is at least as fulfilling).

Igor and the rest of the Nginx team achieved commercial payments by offering premium modules. Later on they were acquired by F5 networks. He achieved the goal.

It still surprises me that NGINX beat out Apache so quickly even though Apache had way more modules and was/is entirely free vs. NGINX which is more or less "open core" with some nice features requiring commercial licensing.

For me, the simplicity of Nginx is what beats it out over Apache.

I've always felt like Nginx "just works" by default and creating configurations is relatively easy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To add a bit more, "svidaniye" means a date, and "Do svidaniya" literally means "till [our next] date". In English, "see you" or "see you later" translates closest to the original phrase in Russian.

"Do svidaniya" sounds more formal than "See you" though.

That is true, thank you for pointing it out. My personal preference is "vsego Vam dobrogo", which is even more respectful (it translates roughly as "All the kind (best) to You").

Here are relevant Russian discussions on OpenNET[0] & LOR[1]. N.B. From Nginx company history on Wikipedia: > On 12 December 2019, it was reported that the Moscow offices of Nginx Inc. had been raided by police, and that Sysoev and Konovalov had been detained. The raid was conducted under a search warrant connected to a copyright claim over Nginx by Rambler—which asserts that it owns all rights to the code because it…

Was the case resolved? Wikipedia doesn't provide any further information?

To non-russian speaking users: "Do Svidaniya" means "Goodbye".

Doesn't it literally mean "Until we see each other [again]", which is even closer to "See you"?
