As usual, if you care about those FOSS libraries, tools authors also have bills to pay themselves.

All the best with commercial endevours.

Isn't FOSS about giving something cool to the community, to your fellow developers? If it's money you're after, why starting a FOSS project? How is it any different from bait-and-switch or rug pulls corporate is being shamed for?

I'm not angry with the authors, they have all the rights to go commercial if this is what they want. But I can't help but feel sad about it.
