I found someone directly copying the project and even including the code link in the description. At that moment, I made a decision.
Simply open source the entire project completely for free. Upload the entire codebase to GitHub, so anyone can use it directly without paying a dime.
This way, we can expose those monopolistic charging schemes. Giving everyone the opportunity to handle it themselves, no longer trapped.

I'm totally impressed by this move. If hacked, just open source everything directly. What a tough person.

Wow, this move is ruthless. Being copied and then completely open-sourced is truly a reverse operation.

According to research, this countermeasure strategy is indeed supported by data in the open-source movement— but it is worth noting that free open source does not necessarily prevent plagiarists effectively.
From a technical perspective, is simply uploading to GitHub enough? The key issues are threefold: 1. Code visibility becomes a new source of copying 2. Without license restrictions, it is essentially ineffective 3. Who is responsible for maintenance costs?
By the way, this "balance of openness to counter monopoly" logic was actually questioned early on in Lawrence Lessig's research.

This is actually quite impressive. Being copied makes it more open, which is much better than projects that stubbornly cling to their source code.

Wow, this move is amazing, directly countering those vampire project teams.

Bro, I have to give you a thumbs up for that move. Much more confident than those project teams hiding behind paywalls and pretending to be cool.
