Previously LGPL, now re-licensed as closed-source/commercial. Previous code taken down.

Commercial users pay $99/year, free for personal use but each user has to make a free account after a trial period.

Was there only ever one contributor? There's only one now, but all the old commits have been removed.

They apparantly had a police of not accepting merge requests or even code snippets.

Hmm that’s a scary conspiracy. Seems like checking that there are at least a handful of contributors needs to be part of adding new dependencies.
