But it shouldn't matter whether or not they want it. You can fork Deno right now, change nothing but the name, and sell it as a commercial product. The MIT licence permits that. iirc SQLite is a private organisation that produces a public domain product. Should we quake in our boots and boycott SQLite? Nothing is stopping the proverbial io.js from drawing a line in the sand, forking Deno or SQLite, changing the name, and taking it from there.
