This is a primary reason I made my VNA design with both open source
hardware and software, even permitting commercial use and sales. If
someone would like to continue the work or fork it, the more power to
them. This is one of the big concerns I have about the NanoVNA, is that
while the software is open, the hardware is not explicitly so, and there
are multiple vendors with PCBs that can't be reproduced. So who knows if
the current design will be reproducible if the current manufacturers stop
selling it?

Definitely!
We had this problem on EEVBlog in FY6x00 AWG's thread, where our great
contributor, Fremen67 from France,
put tremendous effort to prepare our own DIY firmware for these gens, than
mysteriously disappeared for over a year,
without any previous signs of problems, and some weeks ago he miraculously
reappeared.
Should I emphasize, that he make his work in old, closed style, so any
progress during his absence was/is absolutely impossible.
We may only test results of his work, but don't contribute in any serious
way...
