Haha, yes that’s a possibility . But in all seriousness I don’t hold a grudge against the company.

It’s just the first time I realized this is thousands of dollars worth of work and a hefty commitment to support a profit making entity.

It just doesn’t make sense.

While I get your point, I'm not sure I share your opinion.

You would not work for your old company with no pay, you would work for everyone interested, but most important you can make the decisions yourself. Maybe even other devs decide to work for you by submitting PRs.

Additionally you improved your skills at your old company, which they basically paid for and what led to an awesome open source project that can be used by everyone...

That's just my point oft view.
