> If you don't like it you shouldn't have chosen the BSD license in the first place

I mean he changed the license away from BSD now, so, that works too.



BSD -> closed source is kind of a nuclear option when other less drastic options exist, but sure.


as I interpret most permissive license's, they say something like "must retain the above copyright notice, and this list of conditions.", which makes it not possible to change the license. But you can always go "closed source", and there's nothing stopping you from charging money (which is why Business likes these permissive license's)
