@gvs its a really, really common grift now, for something to be an "opens source project" except behind the scenes they have rounds of VC funding and then they start carving up the project to sell as soon as it has enough inertia to commit the rug pull.

that happened with stuff like nocodb where they had made a big showing of "its free forever" and all that performative shit, then in the background they got funded and then suddenly dropped all the open foundation stuff and now there's enterprise edition and feature gatekeeping (incl. the usual rejecting PRs because they've decided that's for the carve-out edition)

i just sorta think this pattern is so common now we should default to hostility. it's a sideways attempt at colonizing the commons.
