    It feels more like a quick way to make some money from companies who will begrungingly pay until they can phase out the library (which can take time). No goodwill can be gained from such a sudden rug pull.

      It’s not a rug pull. All previous versions are still available for people to use free of charge under the previous license.

      Companies using the library have a choice:

      • Continue using the previous versions under the existing license
      • Have their developers remove the library from all their projects (which will cost them far more than $130)
      • Just accept that things cost money and pay $130 per year per developer and forget about it.
