Form Tools is unique in this space, a true tool of enablement. I heard talk that Ben was moving towards GPLing most of FT except core, but again, if he hasn't got time, and if PHP 7 is the brick wall, then he might have no option than to let it crash. Which is a great pity for us who use it.
Far from me to say, but if he didn't have time to work on it anymore, I reckon if he open sourced it, it would continue to spread its wings and fly.
That would be my hope if Ben couldn't service it himself, or he didn't have the gumption or resources to keep it his own.
Only time will tell, and I guess we've all had fun and have benefitted from his hard work. I know I am a mucb better programmer because of Form Tools and Ben. He's been so generous. So all the best to him whatever he is doing, probably having a nice glass of wine on his island with his wife and family. I can only say nice things about him, even if he lets my favourite bit of kit die.
