Moves like this are a bit... strange? It was on github. There are 1.8k forks, with intact LGPL. What is happening here? Is their dev work worth 99$/year ? Not saying people don't deserve to get paid for their work. I'm just not seeing the business case for this.

How else do you expect their time to be paid for?

Donations?

It's quite entitled and dishonest to expect free beta-testing, marketing, and clout from the use of FOSS as a shortcut for your product.

If you are sincere then you should know what you are getting into when you create that license.txt with LGPL terms on it.

Either show us where they voiced this expectation, or stop talking out of your ass.

The entire FOSS community works for very little compensation. You're not special. Read the fucking room. A lot of people spend their free time building cool shit to share with the community. You're a prick if you think that you're in the right calling people in the FOSS community entitled.

Everyone can see your mental state degenerate in real time. You're unable to stop yourself from flinging insults with every comment you type, be it here or in the other thread where you're currently losing a debate.

Right, people usually carry a banner stating their intentions clearly and unambiguously.
