I'm personally happy Matt is charging for his work. More open-source devs should charge for commercial use a la Sidekiq, ngrok, and Caddy.

Free OSS is great, but for these types of tools, so is paid OSS.

There's a large pool of small, useful dev tools that could be making money instead of begging for it. And I'm glad Matt is a part of the much smaller group that makes money.

I have no qualms about commercial services either, it's just a very different model here compared to nginx (which is about the closest comparison project I can think of).

Huh? Nginx also has a commercial license, Nginx Plus.

I was suggesting the drama caused previously was due to the confusing way it was handled - pay to avoid a header, or to use "official" binaries.

I'm well aware that nginx has a commercial side, which is why I mentioned it as a comparison.
