To be fair i would prefer them to incoporate as a startup and prevent any legal problems that might hurt their reputations or cause them to get into trouble with their customers.

I see Open Source Startup (OSS) like GatsbyJS or Dev.to requires the founders to focus on business aspect while still mantaining their core focus of product development in their Open Source Product. Which really require a different blend of founders/co-founders that knows of open source.

Like Guy Kiyosaki says "you need two people for your startup a salesman and creator without that combination it becomes harder to build a startup" or they can build one as a Indie Hacker project i guess?.
