After discovering this morning that Intel archived/discontinued its On Demand “SDSi” GitHub project around that controversial feature, it was a slippery slope in noticing Intel recently archived around two dozen other open-source projects they previously maintained.
Since late 2025 there have been numerous GitHub repositories that Intel officially maintained and now are marked as archived with Intel engineers no longer maintaining them. The latest projects now-archived by Intel since December are noted below. Notably, abandoning of these projects all came after last year’s unfortunate summary in Intel’s Open-Source Strategy Is Changing At Odds With The Ethos Of Open-Source.
Does this mean others could continue the work? Are there people who would?
Yes, all of the mentioned repositories appear to be licensed under a variety of OSI approved licenses: Apache 2.0, MIT, BSD, GPL-2 so if anyone is still using it, they can still distribute their modifications.
