I’m a little unclear on why the license change would help monetization. Wouldn’t an MIT license allow big companies to just use it and not pay?
I think they are changing it because essentially nobody is really willing to pay for a linker that saves a few seconds at most over LLVM’s lld. So they weren’t actually seeing anyone pay for the corporate license. So now they’re hoping to get more crowd funding going by making it more permissive.
At least in my experience, with Rust, it is a noticeable difference. But yeah, not enough for any but the most generous boss to pay for
