It's disappointing but it's not worth assuming any malice or continuing flamewars. There's been some discussion on the project's GitHub page in the past about licensing.
What's worthwhile is to share and talk about why the license selection may result in proprietary and bloated applications built upon the stack, and the resulting inefficiencies and security issues that could occur years in the future as a result. Perhaps it'd even be possible to speculate about what incentives create and support the conditions for those.
If enough people agree and understand the situation, perhaps we'll see change. If they don't, we'll continue on for a number of years and maybe those hypothetical problems will occur, or maybe they won't and the concerns will have been unjustified.
