I'm still happy to use it. It's not like they can rug pull on the data or even the existing app binaries.

I'd really like to see the team get rewarded for their work, too. I'd be sad if it went 100% open and they didn't so much as draw a market salary from it.

I think if it went open, they'd get nothing. That's the one thing I strongly dislike about open source is that only hyperscalers really economically benefit from it.

They've done a remarkable service for all of us.
