What I found interesting/sad was that the user they quote later agreed with his post. 'So true.'

It is difficult to see yourself doing it, and I wonder if more and more open source projects will fall to this as the years go by.

Personally I've seen a number of projects I've followed fall to this, and have kept some of my stuff closed because I feared possible users/consumers.

Shrug.
