Or just trying hard to keep the company afloat?

Just because they published Open Source code at some point, you feel that you're entitled to free updates for the rest of your life?

No. That is not the expectation.

But using the open source brand going forward is a shitty move. If they want a commercial offering they should just rebrand and abandon the oss offering.
