By the way "code written in a company belongs to the company" is the usual kind of lie from James Donaldson. The code was largely written by me on my own time before the company was founded (check the timeline). It was agreed that I'd own and control the open source project too.

The company was supposed to be earning money from making proprietary forks of the OS for companies, doing contract work for them and providing support. It was not ever supposed to monetize the open source project directly but the company totally failed at getting anything done.

Worth noting that the project remained under permissive open source licensing for a long time and I eventually decided to try GPLv3 as a way to prop up the company's failing attempting to monetize it and make it sustainable. Later, I decided to use non-commercial licensing.
