Per off-the-record chats with F5ers (assuming they're correct), F5 didn't exactly manage OSS NGINX well. I was told that Maxim essentially ran OSS NGINX as a volunteer despite being employed by F5.
That could all be totally wrong but IMO it fits with their behaviour I've experienced - it always felt more like *available* source than *open* source to me.
This might all have serious repercussions, NGINX (& OpenResty which is based on it) is *everywhere*, 32% of the web https://www.netcraft.com/blog/january-2024-web-server-survey
