Unfortunately the Open source industry has been hijacked by VCs. They are polluting the space by chasing quick dollars and confusing developers and users.
A company that after multiple years has 4 developers (two of them founders and apparently primary authors of the software) indeed loudly screams "VCs hijacking" instead of "some dudes making a consulting+support company involving their open-source project".
I appreciate (and agree with) your view, but sarcasm is often lost in translation; it'd be a better comment if you made it clearer (even adding an /s or 'eyeroll' would go a long way).
