FUCK companies that take an open source product that people spent their private time building and make it closed source for themselves
This is theft, plain and simple
Yes,the project needs GPL instead of those LGPL type licenses that permit that crap, but that doesn't change what these companies do
So can we take the code from up to about a mo the ago, and just make it GPL and tell them to fuck off?
Its not theft but it is bait and switch
Unnecessary hostility. They can not and are not retroactively changing license on past contributions. The only thing affected is upstream future contributions. If nothing was lost, how can it be "theft"?
Yes. As long as you also comply with license.
