Open source? More like trojan horse. Nothing is "open" unless it has a GNU licence.


Those licenses themselves aren't even sufficient to protect against this, since copyright holders don't have to follow their own licenses. To be fully safe from this kind of rug pull, the project also needs to accept substantial external contributions without a CLA, like the Linux kernel does.
