Random question: Did it ever happen to see a software start as open-source, and then, for whatever reason, move to closed-source? Is it even possible? Did someone tried and (hopefully) failed miserably?
I feel like I've heard of cases, but I'm having a hard time remembering specific ones. I think OpenERP is, partially, an example of open-source-gone-closed. It's now known as Odoo, and they offer two forms of their product. One is still open source, and the other IIRC is not.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Great read, very informative.
