It's not a rug pull. All previous versions are still available for people to use free of charge under the previous license.

Companies using the library have a choice:

  • Continue using the previous versions under the existing license
  • Have their developers remove the library from all their projects (which will cost them far more than $130)
  • Just accept that things cost money and pay $130 per year per developer and forget about it.
