No, because it’s a bait and switch. They attracted a bunch of people to use and contribute to their software because it’s open source. Almost all of them do not have the capacity to maintain their own individual fork of the software. It’s like if you decided to carpool with someone and halfway through they parked the car at the side of the road and switch into another car, leaving you with the original one. I mean, hey, they’re giving you a car to finish your trip! But what if you don’t know how to drive? What if you didn’t plan on spending your next twelve hours focusing on the road? People usually don’t expect their open source software to suddenly go closed source out from under them, just like they don’t expect their carpool buddy to bail on them halfway through the trip.
