It's not a binary choice. I prefer the developers releasing the software under a permissive license. I agree that relying on freemium maintenance is naive. The community source lives on, perhaps the community should fork and run with it for the common good absorbing the real costs of maintenance.

Well, yes, that's the reason to use FOSS. Nobody can fully rug pull. But the worst case is still needing someone to take over on it.
