Yes MIT license is a great plan b. But forking is hard and painful. Elastic/MongoDB/HashiCorp and many more OSS keep moving towards Business Source License to protect themselves from bigtech monetizing the original creators hard work.

What we need is a better approach. One that doesn't involve VC funding. One that keeps the all the incentives of the community, contributors and the creators aligned.

Will share a draft of this approach soon (likely tomorrow) and open it up for community discussion. I want Bruno to be there for the long term.
