Naive. Users who think a project that is Open Source will remain Open Source forever.

Authors gave the right to change license to a proprietary one. Users being surprised by this are as equally naive as developers who think you can make money writing Open Source.

Well, the versions that were published as open source will remain open source forever. That's never a guarantee for new updates by the same author, for any licence.
