What you give up either way
- Hosted donations/funding model and public trust indicators (donor list)
- The current site's existing user base and brand recognition
- Any proprietary internal tooling or model choices the vendor actually runs (not documented)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches FREE-resume.net, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
