Why not give it an appropriate opensource license? That would increase trust that business decisions won't be radically changed at a whim, and if they do then people at least will have the option of forking.

I won't try this app, because I worry that at any point you may decide to change the business model. It's happened so many times with so many apps. If it were opensource, at least I'd know I can continue building it and running it myself, and there'd be a chance that if it were popular enough, development community would emerge around it.
