$10M ARR doesn't mean anything. You could still be a tiny company with terrible financials by selling your product at a loss (a startup)
It's just an arbitrary number
i mean, yes? it is? software you can't use without someone else's permission is obviously shittier than open-source software you can fork, even if you're a big company. perhaps especially if you're a big company. and software that sends telemetry to the vendor is obviously shittier than software that doesn't
i mean, no? it isn't? changing the license doesn't change the software? the software still works the same way?
In this case, they cancelled a product (core) and replaced it with a different product that has an additional new license (enterprise edition with a free tier)
So not just a license change
Well if the company can build a business then you can get great software to use... while in theory it would be great if a bunch of incredible software were done purely in the spirit of community open source, in practice that's pretty limited
