This post would indicate that you are talking about the latter case, in which case you were not laughably wrong, but rather dishonest about the risks. You are talking as though people have the ability to be Apple, but everyone you're talking about is not in Apple's position, but in KDE's.

Yes, exactly. My point is that the open source project who wants to be a more liberal license can do it, just like KDE did.

Then if someone wants to take that for proprietary software, they can do it too, like Apple. They don't even need to go as far as Apple and make a fork, they can use Slint's paid, or free as in beer (ambassador) license.
