Perhaps by the time he started feeling this way, it was too late to relicense? Megacorps would just fork from a pre-GPL release and carry on.

- peoplefromibiza 5y agothat's my understansing as well. I'm not judging the author here, but on one hand I understand the frustration, on the other hand the package probably owes its popularity in part to its very permissive license. Anyway, a fork maintained by the companies that use the package would still be a better outcome than keep working for them for free (or remove the package entirely).
