Could you please share more information what is the biggest worry/concern from licence change for you?

PubNub wants to ensure that our SDK code remains freely available to users who are actively using the PubNub platform. The anti-competition clause is introduced to prevent misuse of the SDK code by third parties who may seek to compete with PubNub and use the PubNub provided SDK code in order to sell their competitor platform, product or services. More explanation about licence change can be found on our FAQ page here: https://www.pubnub.com/docs/sdks#license-faq
