On the one hand, it does seem like it'd be nice if Substack had signed a support/integration deal with the Ghost team. That way Ghost could have gotten paid something for their hard work, and Substack could have avoided critical mistakes like the CDN security issue.
On the other hand, this seems like what success looks like for an MIT licensed project. A big company using the code to power their product without even having to contact, let alone ask permission of, anyone.
It seems to feel different for end-user applications like Ghost. But it's not actually any different than if they had powered Substack with SQLite or Postgres.
