Previously LGPL, now re-licensed as closed-source/commercial. Previous code taken down.

Commercial users pay $99/year, free for personal use but each user has to make a free account after a trial period.

And this is exactly why the dev of PySimpleGUI did what they did.

Whether they have a business case will depend on what happens on those forks. Will they be as maintained as the original was?
