So did they find out they made a mistake going with the BSD license, and correct it to be more in line with their original intentions?

Many here are responding as if they are making some moral u-turn, or calling them out for not being FOSS license cognisati from the very start.

And I get it. Most are not just 'rebranding and shipping'. You incorporated this into your own system as a frontend to your own specialized AI solution, and now you feel rugpulled.

While not an easy option for all usecases, some could also bite the bullet and switch to LibreChat wich is MIT licensed.
