Another thing that kinds of sucks about this whole "license rug-pull" kind of business is that other teams (like ours) who are publishing open-source software/tools are now suspects too.
Folk ask themselves, why contribute to this thing (MIT/GPL licenses) if there some for-profit entity involved?
Folk can't take us at face-value (I'd argue demonstrated value) and level (unfounded) accusations at us; because some other player did things "dirty".
Well, other folk wanted to pay for support/customisation and in USA you make a for-profit entity to do that.
So the corporate part of the open-source project is, nearly, a requirement.
