Previously LGPL, now re-licensed as closed-source/commercial. Previous code taken down.

Commercial users pay $99/year, free for personal use but each user has to make a free account after a trial period.

If previous code was lgpl then anyone with a git repo can simply reupload it to git and continue the project under a different name.

To whomever owns this project: fuck you for taking the work of multiple people and just taking it for yourself.

The amount of people who feel like they're entitled to the previous code and are calling the license change scummy make me sick.

This developer put their own free time into this project, they made sure to not accept anyone else's code, and they understandably felt they deserve to be paid for their time. Whether this was a smart move is another matter entirely.

The one case where I can understand being upset is if you donated shortly before this happened. But otherwise, you should really reflect on how you're giving back to the people who make the tools you feel oh so entitled to.
