I'm actually disappointed in this. These two were fighting the unsustainable expectation that all libraries or frameworks must be free. As long as we have that expectation, only developers who win the VC funding jackpot, as these two did, can be fairly compensated for doing substantial full-time work on libraries or frameworks. And what's the business model now, anyway? Those VCs are going to expect a return on their investment. Giving away the software and trying to sell something else can lead to some perverse incentives. There's no shame in demanding compensation for the software itself; I wish the Remix developers had kept up that fight. And yes, I bought a Remix license (an indie one). I'm not even using it, at least not yet, but it seemed worth supporting.
