I don't see how you can ever call that "honest" unless we have fundamentally different ideas about what honesty is.
It can be honest to say: I made a term I can't support - I am going out of business as a result.
It can be honest to say: I made a term that is no longer worth my time - I am going to stop working on this as a result.
It's sure as fuck not honest to say: I want the marketing from the current name and user base, but I made a bad deal so I'm going to break my terms because I want more money.
It feels like he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. Frankly - I'd much rather he own by just going out of business or by end-of-lifing the product and launching a new one.
