“The vast majority of users were, and are, completely unaffected by the licence changes.”

Only true if you believe that the new license is safe to use, and that HC can be trusted to stop with this change. The license they adopted isn’t well understood and if I were a corporate lawyer I’d be hesitant to approve it.

Defining “competitive” use is basically up to HC, so that makes the license real iffy.

They’ve poisoned the well for contributions going forward, so HC as an upstream is much less attractive now.
