I would then like you to change the type of license!

this could be good for you if you pay for your project? Regards

No...this would be an injustice and disservice to every contributor to this project...Nexus I believe did this which resulted in a fork and death of the commercial side...

...you must obtain permission from every contributor and compensate them for this to be even marginally ethical...even then this project will fork at the news and you will be wasting your time and resources...

...leave it open source and fund it instead similar to Linux, otherwise your efforts are an insult and in vain

je ne parle que de l'acheter pas de le faire payer. Il restera gratuit.

Cordialement
