    ZeroTier founder here. We never did anything remotely like that, so I'm curious about where you heard that.

    We did adjust our licensing to counter people attempting to take the product, slap their own name on it, and monetize it without supporting us, but we are strongly considering going back to a more liberal license in the near future. In any case we didn't "go after" anyone, just limited commercial closed source use in a manner not unlike the AGPL. We never filed any kind of lawsuits about this or anything.

    We also regularly promote third party open source products like this:

    We've never had an issue with non-commercial or FOSS usage.
