Corporate Open Source is Dead

Nobody likes being rugpulled. But lately, it's going around like a virus.
The state of open source landscape is changing. Many projects backed by corporations are changing to "source avaliable" or other such scam license.
It's one thing to be commercial & closed source from the beginning and be honest about it - that's OK. But changing from open source to "source available" is a rug pull.
At least forking is possible - fork the project at a point where it was still opensource and diverge from there. That is why so many forks in OSS are happening lately.
