This seems like another example of people taking open source for granted. Software takes time and effort to create, and in return for that effort the author receives ownership and copyright. The author of an open source project can do whatever they want with it - limited only by other legal limitations (such as, it’s illegal to intentionally destroy other people’s properly).

In a legal contract, some value (consideration) must be contributed by both sides. What do most people contribute to the open source projects that they use? When the answer is “nothing”, then why do they expect the right to judge the decisions of the author?

Sure this is rant-ish. But I’m saying that people sure feel privileged to raise a hue and cry when open source authors make decisions that they don’t agree with. Don’t like it? Fork it - or buy a license that has the terms you want.
