Why is this no longer open source? It defeats the purpose of open source and makes me wonder what you guys have to hide. Can you please enlighten me and everyone else why you just had to relicense this wonderful product and make it closed source? I see no answer to this last issue either https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/4342

Yea kind of sucks if people want to contribute it or fix bugs.

Incredible how the only member that had the courage to answer just said "not open source" and blatantly closed that issue.

I just found out about LT, came in here looking to contribute some ideas and voilà, I discover this weird decision, which I could also consider stupid since there's no rationale behind it so far... And given the time since it was taken, I wonder if there will ever be a decent explanation.
