Very disappointing, that's a slap in the face to everyone who contributed

If you wanted to monetize your project, you should have done it from the beginning with the proper license

Getting exposure and contributions only just to change the terms is just disgusting

Guess he'll be slapping himself in the face...seeing as if you read the blog post you'd know that he can change the license because he wrote essentially all the code...

That's not the point, breaking trust, manipulation and betrayal are, if you don't care about that, then you should not complain when one random dude changes his popular library to spread a political malware [1]

It is not a break of trust, maniupulation, or a betrayal. A FOSS license is not a guarantee or promise of perpetually working on a project, for free - in fact it is specifically never guaranteeing anything.

You will always be able to use the version of Mold right before the license is switched.

Right, if the project is no longer financially viable in its current form, the moral thing to do would be to walk away entirely. Then nobody wins, but hey, at least he did the right thing. Or would that be disgusting too?

Also, if you don't like it, fork the last open source version. Your comment reads like "how dare this person not do free work for me!"
