Yeah its a bait and switch. People want the social credit, early adoption, and community embrace of being open source, but they also want a captive business model.

It's not a bait and switch because the old version of the software that was released with the old license can still be used as such. If you call this bait and switch then I suppose this means that you somehow feel entitled to future versions of the software having the same license, forever.
