This isn’t true, though... they aren’t violating their license, they changed the license. You are allowed to change a license for code you wrote at any time.
The only issue is if they included other code that was licensed, either via a PR written by someone else that they merged or via a dependency that was licensed.
You can’t violate your own license... even if I write code and release it as GPL, I am free to use a modified version in my own proprietary code (again, as long as you don’t use code licensed by someone else)
- user5994461 6y agoIt's been established that they have third party contributions under AGPL, so we're past the points you mention.
- uberman 6y agoThey do, and there are potentially 60 or so contributors. However, only those 60 people have a dog in this fight (or legally only they have "standing"). It is up to one of them to do "something" as none of us (anyone other than those 60) have any sort of actionable claim other than to shame them. You and I might not like the fact that they are altering / violating the license but that is moot.
- cortesoft 6y agoBut that still wouldn't mean "any user" has a claim, which was what the post I was replying to suggested.
