    Why is that a problem if the developers are apparently fine with it?

    Everyone can still use the open source version/fork. It could only become a problem if distributions for some reason decided to use that closed source version, which doesn’t make any sense.

    I fail to see a worst case scenario here beyond companies being able to profit from the software as well.

      That’s just it though. The developers can drop out over time, then some other corp can come in and control it, then close source it.
