The site claims they have an editor "ICE" as open-source software. But that is a lie: it is not open source, but shareware or such.

They also accept contributions released only under the no-commercial-use-allowed license, so any dual licensing under a commercial-use-allowed license would be out of the window once a contribution gets merged.

Not sure what their business model is if they forbid commercial use. I guess selling commercial use licenses in violation of the no-commercial-use-allowed license?

I'll be honest with you, I wan't sure what to do with ICE licence, PolyForm Noncommercial felt reasonable, I'll make the wording clearer. Do you think I should go MIT?

The latest commit in the repo is the license change. Go back one commit and you get the Apache licensed version. https://github.com/light-cloud-com/ice/tree/cbf1355bd1a14206...
