The community includes those who always had an uneasy relationship creating open source projects in EAGLE (not open source), and those who are not upset it has been bought by AutoDesk (not great, IMHO opinion, but not the end of the world) and changed the licensing model (more concerning, since hobbyists don't make enough continued use of the tool to justify a monthly license "rent", and the nature of renting a tool as the only licensing option does not sit well with others). We are on the same page. The only somewhat palatable subscription model introduced f.e. Jetbrains. Other than that all the software "renting" suggestions from any company meet my middle finger. But I also understand and mentioned that this may work for some people. Probably mostly for those who use the tools daily for their business / paid work. I know some people who still pay Adobe for example ;-) I quit the moment they stopped selling/upgrading perpetual licences. Luckily it was much easier for me to say bye-bye to all Adobe stuff than it is for me to quit EAGLE. There I paid Cadsoft twice. The third time I had enough of their upgrade policies. So I still use old version. Doesn't matter much as I plan to ditch it anyway.
