Wait, so what's your issue? You open sourced an implementation of someone else's algorithm. Someone else used your open source code to generate a painting and someone else wants to buy that painting. I'm not sure I see what the outrage is about?

IANAL of course! The general gist is it's your code and a license is not how YOU use it but how others do. That being said you cannot revoke the license. So those who used your code in accordance with the license at time 0 even if you changed it at time 1 are fine/unaffected.

But those coming in at time 1 to use your code have to play by the new license. Often these things are settled out of court since asking people to play by the rules/laws tends to be enough it seems.
