Very sad to see this happening. I liked the project a lot... Good luck with your job though and you will sure have more opportunities in life to do open-source projects. :)

The real question is, what kind of employer shuts down a project like this, cutting themselves off from useful contributions by other people?

This shows the shitty policy that most companies have. They use open source internally and give nothing back.

You could try to convince your boss to create a free Github organization account for the business, and then open-source the code there.
