Just because you want that to be "the key" doesn't make it so. You make that your singular focus and you let antisocial behaviour off the hook. That is your prerogative.

For me, the key is the bait and switch. It's like a drug dealer offering first time customers a discount. It's a good business strategy to get people hooked. Very enterprising. Nonetheless, I would prefer a society without such behaviour.

You mean society where I can benefit at cost of other party indefinitely but when other try to stop I berate them for changing conditions which benefited me.

So if you put up a bridge, people start using it, and you one day realize it's too much work to maintain, then it maybe the responsible thing would be to engage with the community, maybe someone will step up to maintain it, not to just blow it up one day without not much of a warning.

Sure, in this case the bridge is still there, and it started as a toll-bridge with free lanes. Now the free lanes are closing.

Crying orphans will be stranded on one side and their mothers bereaved on the other side, corporations will starve without new updates, millions of innocent businesses will wither away all because *they* closed the free lane without a consultation first, and with just one month notice. A total cybercide.

OSI licenses should come with indicators to signal affiliations with a preferred theory of justice, so when the eventual grievance event triggers people will have the correct framing at hand.

Anyway, as always, https://www.broadcom.com/company/corporate-responsibility is pretty clear on the matter!
