That's not what GP said, and I'm not sure how you got there from them pointing out this was likely the end of development. From the community guidelines:

- fierarul 7y agoThank you for your comment, perhaps I was too harsh. Must be shell-shock from other commercial/open-source products. onus is a formal word for responsibility or obligation. Until recently, the authors only had a responsibility to their paying customers. Open-sourcing the product instead of abandoning it is also a responsible choice. How far must somebody take repressibility? Lifetime of unpaid updates seems a bit much. Let's assume some good faith in those guys too!
