Apache PLC4X announcing end of community support due to missing funding
Developments like this one and the faker.js and colors.js fiasco from last week have made me rethink my position about licensing.<p>Now it seems to me that releasing code you wrote for free under a <i>permissive</i> open-source license is somewhere between ill-advised and unethical. On one hand it will not benefit you in any way, on the other, it will be incorporated in a company's proprietary project thus lowering the expenses necessary to develop it. In the end, you've contributed to closed source and on top of that you got nothing in return... And that is the best case, as we saw with log4j, you can be held responsible in the court of public opinion in case the project you developed and maintain for free (with no warranty or liability as per license) causes an issue...
