I was just curious given that ProseMirror is used a lot and doesn't seem that well supported financially.

This type of attitude is pretty harmful for open source. Folks (especially companies) should support their key dependencies where they can.

I don't think that is true but in any case: Honoring the license, which we are usually we particular around here, has to be enough. The license is up to the licenser. white knighting it on a arbitrary per case basis seems like really bad practice.
