Samsung Open-Source Group Reportedly Shuts Down

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Samsung-Open-Source-Closes

Samsung OSG has contributed very heavily to the development of Wayland as well as some X.Org components, Cairo, Enlightenment EFL, the LLVM Clang compiler, GStreamer, FFmpeg, the Linux kernel, and other related code-bases that helped benefit Samsung's open-source/Linux needs across their wide portfolio of products from smart watches to refrigerators.
This may be especially hard-hitting for Wayland considering they were heavily contributing upstream and OSG employees often served as release managers.
