Good point however developer could still have decided to remove the MIT license and licensed code and re-write or remove those licensed bits entirely, and then start charging money for it. I wonder if Github would have still considered that malicious and suspended him for it? I guess it's some sort of new unwritten rule on Github: thou shall not remove features from one's own project that others depend on.
- lupire 5y agoGitHub public projects are free of charge, for the benefit of the community. It's good for the community that massively breaking changes that break every single consumer, are quickly fixed, even if the author wants to break the software. The author is free to publish their breaking changes elsewhere.
