You are not required to rewrite everything if you exceed $1million in annual revenue. You are required to get a commercial license from them, which costs money.

That's not the same thing. And quite frankly, if you're making over $1 million in annual revenue you should be able to afford the license fee for the most important part of your company.

There's no guarantee that a commercial license will be available at a reasonable fee, or available at all. You'll have nothing to negotiate with because the alternative is to rewrite or shut down immediately.

Isn't that true of anything?

At renewal software provider X might hike license fees for Y to an unreasonable fee, or decide you're not worth the time at all.

I assume you can get a commercial license at any point, not only after you reach X revenue too?

It's true for proprietary software yes. The title of this post was "Gumroad is open source" (which has now been fixed).
