A lot of these projects started as community driven and funded open source efforts that eventually the creators decided to make a professional services company as a sponsor -> that company takes over nearly all of the development -> they relicense when they realize the funding they raised isn't going to be paid back.

They're all just rug pulls when the creators want to get rich off of their open product and realize they can't after raising tens of millions.

I'd have a lot more sympathy if the story wasn't "closing an open project so we can pay investors"
