Astral was always going to have to find some way to sustain itself financially. They weren’t going to just make the best free tools in the ecosystem forever. uv is sufficiently entrenched as infrastructure that I’m sure it’ll take no time for a community fork to show up if they do anything stupid with it.

Thanks! And you're right this is true for storage and at the transaction level where nothing smaller than, e.g., a penny is allowed to move or exist in the first place. But when you're working with interest rates and the main calculations involve multiplying by numbers < 1, you still have to figure out rounding.
