@Aatube I don't see how OP is making it a big deal. That post is merely stating facts, as confirmed by the company representative in the GitHub discussion. Yes, the project was never "open-source-like governed", but it was technically open-source software. With the additional restriction in the license it's not anymore. All pretty theorical, but nevertheless true.

"No longer open source" is factually true. However, it gives the impression that they did something much more drastic. It would be much better to just get to the point with something like "draw.io forbids competitors for Atlassian integration from using their code".
