If you don't like it when "people are profiting off your free labor without even thinking about where libraries came from", don't use free licences....

Sure, but just because you've open-sourced something at some point, doesn't mean you have to maintain it for free forever. If we require that level of commitment, no one is ever going to open-source anything.

Then why not relicense it at that point?
