How is "...then stop" different from "Taking your marbles and going home"? They didn't remove previously-published source code. So you can use the last open release in both scenarios, and the license change only adds the option of getting the maintained version under a commercial license. The commercial version probably isn't useful in many scenarios, but by the simple rules of logic, having any additional option(s) can never be worse than having fewer options. It is, however, somewhat shady to implement this license change without announcing it. Indeed I seem to remember being quite confused by this recently. I also just don't understand why that tactic was chosen? If you want to sell software, it tends not to hurt to make people aware of options to give you money.
