BTW I think a consultant/consuntancy would do good business in taking
ownership of DIH.  Loads of people use it and some will come looking to pay
for help!  Heck, even a user of my tiny HTTP Proxy Servlet
https://github.com/mitre/HTTP-Proxy-Servlet/ inquired about paid support!
If I was still a freelancer, I think I would jump at this opportunity.
