So you don't even know what happened?

There's an infinite loop after it finishes printing garbage. It's an unquestionably harmful change.

Also, you know how you prevent non-commercial use?

I don't get it, Marak is clearly having some sort of episode*, and people are bending over backwards to rationalize the result as if there's some clear connection between his intent and his actions.

How many people realize he made those anti-commercial comments two years ago. Right now it actually seems like his comments were more political than financial.

* I don't mean that in a backhanded way, based on his history and his recent comments I think this is someone who needs help regardless of his actions on NPM*
