    Why?

    If it ain’t broke, why does it need an update?

    I have apps that are 10 years old and work fine. This “continual update” thing is just so weird.

    I have 20 year old apps on Windows that still work just fine.

    Some of my Android apps’ newer versions have issues that I don’t care for, so I run the older version (e.g. Foldersync, Tasks.org).

    The last version of SMT apps before the buyout should work indefinitely…they are simple after all.

      The SMT apps after the buyout, are not necessarily bad either, it’s up to the new owners whether they want to keep a FOSS version as advertisement, or not.

        Aren’t there outside contributors? How can they relicense it without their permission?

          they don’t care and as long as no court ruled, they do what they want, which will probably work out for them
