I wouldn't say 'over,' but the fact is that I haven't made a release in over a year, and life has a way of sneaking up on you-- so if it ever got to the point that I just wasn't coming around here any more, I didn't want to leave DSB in a state where it was impossible for anyone to carry on with it, if someone was interested in doing so. To be blunt about it, I didn't want it to end up like RTC did.
Anyway, in terms of ownership, I still own the DSB code, just as the original DM authors still own their work. If someone makes a derivative work based on DSB, then we are essentially co-authors with them owning their additions and me still maintaining copyright over my original DSB code. The only limits I would apply to derivative works are to not act in bad faith, to not misrepresent a DSB derivative as an 'official' version of DSB, and to not plagiarize my code without credit. (It's not even very good code, so why would anyone want to!)
