I'm sorry you feel that way.

That's not the license change diff, that's the diff of almost 6 months of work and over 200,000 lines of code written, easy mistake no?

Commit history has not been re-written, I assume you simply don't own a scroll wheel, because all the old commits are still [right there](https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/commits/master/?after=342...), they are simply just flooded by a massive re-write of the entire codebase.

The specific commit you're likely looking for is [here](https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/commit/9b1ec67e69614684cd...), which yes, you're right, Miru/Hayase is now BSL1.1 based, which is "source available" not "FOSS" mainly to protect the codebase from people who actually tried making money off of it.

hey, I'm one of the few remaining active WebTorrent devs and I've seen this issue myself, to the point where it's simply easier to use NWjs or Electron with node integration and use chromiums wrtc implementation instead of the wrtc package, if you ever manage to find a better replacement for wrtc for node tell me, and I'll make sure it's implemented ;p

the main hold-up on this is actually libtorrent not releasing WT support in a full release yet, from my talks with qBit devs, there's a lot of people waiting for them to simply include it in a release as it seems stable, and there are quite a few people using it on rasterbar, see https://tracker.btorrent.xyz/stats
