    I don't understand how Semgrep decided to botch itself like this. A fork was bound to happen. Why would users continue using a project that decides it should now hide information for commercial purposes?

    I love seeing forks go truly open source with a manifesto. This is something the community can really get behind.

    hope to see more of this type of collaboration. I think vendors who rugpull their OSS to make it big will think twice if splinter groups keep forking in favor of the community
