I just came form Here: https://github.com/wp-sync-db/wp-sync-db/issues/167 and it looks like I've ended up at another graveyard.

not maintained, but still working (for now)

The Maintainers website does not seem to work, so I am assuming they have gone out of business and left this repo behind. As you already implied, it is only a matter of time for this to stop working.

I am considering to fork this and maintain my own version but since I am not a very good programmer I probably shouldn't. Then again it still might be better than nothing. It really depends on how well I can understand the code.

@notslang I found you in a comment in compatibility/wp-sync-db-compatibility.php, do you know anything about what happened, would you even be willing to maintain this?

@jayhybrid - Sorry, I haven't worked with PHP or WordPress in several years. Nowadays I'm doing Elixir work. I haven't found anyone willing to maintain the repo either. See: https://github.com/wp-sync-db/wp-sync-db#looking-for-a-maintainer

@notslang Just so I'm clear: it's legal to fork the original code from DB Pro, and remove all of the license-checking code?

@trobriander Yep, it's licensed under the GPL. You just need to remove the branding, because that's trademarked.
