The announcement was so vague that it left the door open to basically every possible negative interpretation of the motivations for the change.

And the team doing damage control in the thread either don’t really know the actual reasons, or are being deliberately cagey about them.

Neither inspires a lot of confidence.

“We’re making a change, but don’t worry, nothing is changing.”

Yeah, I don't know - at least they are still supporting their #foss version, unlike the Hashicorp Terraform switch which completely dropped support or Drone-CI which immediately knee-capped a large set of core features. So as long as they at least continue to push bug fixes and keep existing functionality on the FOSS license, then I think the existing feature-set is pretty complete as-is. And if they continue to add features to the FOSS version, all the better. I think the only gap is making sure the FOSS version is distributed to the official stores like Fdroid, Flathub, etc - which I think a community member could do.
