This is disappointing but certainly not surprising and to some part we as an open source community have to blame our selves. I know it is not a popular opinion

I know it is not a popular opinion but the AGPL is there for a reason. If you release your code under a permissive license you should not be surprised that others benefit from it - sometimes massively. That is how it is supposed to be. You can still lament that it is unjust and I feel you, because in a sense it is. If it really bothers you, the solution is easy. Next time choose the AGPL.

- dehrmann 3y agoI've released open-source projects under an Apache license because I want others to benefit from my work. I knowingly didn't choose GPL-flavored licenses because they limit people's ability to do this.
