Lot of comments indicate that the code authors regret making their code open source because somebody rebranded their code or sold it and made money. You always had a choice to stop development in the early stages and: 1) Make it proprietary - Why didn't you do it? 2) Have a commercial version - Why didn't you do it? 3) Change the license from MIT/Apache/etc - Why didn't you do it? 4) Charge for features/support/maintenance/etc - Why didn't you do it? When you use certain OS licenses, you give the permission to its user to do whatever they wish including selling it and therefore, complaining about it later doesn't make any sense. Mattermost for example, was APL. Then they changed it to AGPL because they experienced something similar. Gitea was born out of the frustration that the original code was not maintained properly. There are numerous examples like this. So stop complaining and take action else embrace open source with all your heart. When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.” These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users' sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social solidarity—that is, sharing and cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general. - Richard Stallman
