    Talk about just throwing the licenses out the window. It’s still open source, since you can read it all to audit, but the use of the code is no longer free with attribution if they decide a single person cannot use it.

    Actually, most open source licenses (including GPL) have a clause saying that the freedoms granted by the license cannot be revoked as long as the user follows the obligations (namely crediting the author and making their changes open source).

      That’s why I said they’re throwing the license out the window. Flagrantly disregarding the text of the license.

      They can change the license for future releases, which would basically block them from using the updated source code.
