What do you want, it’s hard to resist VC money and “the enterprise offering”

Not impossible though, I run a directory of open-source alternatives and rarely do you see what Cal.com did. Projects gets abandoned yes, but a pure bait and switch like this really grinds my gears. This is from someone who is self hosting Cal.com right now and now they are going to strip even more features.

That's why I'm worried about Laravel taking on a huge sum.
