What actually changed

Licences moved from permissive open source to source-available terms restricting commercial redistribution — aimed primarily at cloud providers reselling the software as a service.

Community forks appeared quickly, with major distributions and vendors backing them. For most end users the practical choice became which fork to follow.

How to reduce exposure

Prefer projects under foundation governance for anything load-bearing, and know what your dependencies are licensed under before you need to care.
