I really really don’t like how the author spins AGPL relicensing and enforcement as an indication of project dying. AGPL is a perfectly fine license [1] for FOSS projects, and enforcing the license is a prerequisite of a healthy project. I get what he’s trying to say, but putting it all in the same category as cutting features and winding down in general feels... wrong. Trying to save a project should not be called “dying”.

That said, congrats on resurrecting it!

[1]: The fact that big tech doesn’t want to touch it is on the big tech, not on the license!

I guess late-stage relicensing will always feel like a rug pull to the community of users of the previous license.
