Yep. It’s true when companies do it with a “loss leader” to destroy the competition. It’s true when an open source library swaps to proprietary license. Who wouldnt pick a good, free option for something? …how do you tell the difference between a “real” open source project and a bait and switch? Is this the future? Where all good things are gone and we have to skeptical of anyone giving away something for free? Screw that. If you’re selling something, then sell it. If you’re giving something away, then make your intentions clear. If you’re giving it away with the intent to destroy your competition, you’re being a dick. If you change your mind and want to do something different, abandon your dishonestly earned network effects and start a new commercial project where the intent is clear from the start. I wish the Six Labors folk the very best in any commercial endeavour they choose to undertake, but this sucks.
