> The primary author of RhodeCode formed a company, RhodeCode GmbH [...] The company announced a license change and added a 20-user maximum into the Python code for RhodeCode. That led to complaints, threats, and ultimately a patch to remove the 20-user restriction. The company then threatened the author of that patch. [...] > The company claimed to have 100% of the copyright in RhodeCode, even though patches had been accepted from others https://lwn.net/Articles/609709/ https://lwn.net/Articles/609709/

That's not true. Some parts (e.g. CSS and images) never were open source. You can read more about why RhodeCode went back to open source (AGPL) here: https://rhodecode.com/blog/113/rhodecode-goes-open-source https://rhodecode.com/blog/113/rhodecode-goes-open-source
