MODERATORS
The amount of people who feel like they're entitled to the previous code and are calling the license change scummy make me sick.
This developer put their own free time into this project, they made sure to not accept anyone else's code, and they understandably felt they deserve to be paid for their time. Whether this was a smart move is another matter entirely.
The one case where I can understand being upset is if you donated shortly before this happened. But otherwise, you should really reflect on how you're giving back to the people who make the tools you feel oh so entitled to.
The previous code exists under an irrevocable open source license, so they are entitled to it. Also, fuck off.
Is the license revoked because the dev deleted the previous code on their side?
Of course it isn't. At least have your points make sense if you're gonna behave like an ass.
No, it's not, because it's irrevocable
