And it depends on the goal of the author. If I recall correctly, the 
author of freerdp changed the licence to a „less free” one, because 
companies wouldn’t pay him money if they had to give back to code to the 
public. And since he wanted to make money, he changed the licence to 
Apache-2.0. Some developer jumped the ship.
