This has been going on for decades. CDDB, IMDB, Redhat.
Anything you volunteer for will be monetized and you will get cut off from your own contributions.
Even here on Lemmy people post Twitter images and Reddit reader apps which only helps those platforms retain mindshare even if they aren't directly profiting with ads.
Hashicorp recently commandeered its community built products from thousands of contributors by changing open source projects to an ambiguous if not hostile BSL. Opentofu for any current terraform users out there.
🤭 LOL @ the name change.
Reminds me of OpenMW for Morrowind being listed as "OpenMicrowave" on the Google app store
They didn’t want people think OpenTF meant they were DownTF.
They totally are DTF, they just didn’t want you asking about it.
And still being removed from the store
