OpenJS Is Now Selling You a Path Off End-of-Life Node.js

OpenJS has launched a program that connects organizations running end‑of‑life Node.js with vetted commercial upgrade providers (NodeSource is the inaugural partner). The program includes an explicit revenue split (85% to partners, 15% to foundation support) and places partners in official project touchpoints (website, docs, EOL guidance). — If foundations routinely channel users to paid providers, it reshapes open‑source governance, creates new monetization norms, and affects how infrastructure security and vendor dependence are managed.
