@vas Yeah, that’s fair too. The project behind it is indeed a commercial entity, hence why they set it up that way.
Personally, I wouldn’t be too concerned about them failing to publish new versions, because then the last version will still remain open source forever. And even projects with an open governance model can run out of steam, so the risk might not be any greater here. But yeah, it’s good to be mindful of the risks and restrictions when starting any new project.
