    If this project has other contributors, imagine how betrayed they must be.

    Opening the project as FOSS until it becomes popular and then closing it to make money is such a scummy tactic

        I’ve had to sign specific paperwork regarding copyright for just big projects, many smaller ones take contributions without paperwork, which would leave the rights with each contributor. They be better dot their i’s and cross their t’s, it just the legal fees could isnk them before making any money from the commercial license.

        IANAL, just in case.
