[FEATURE] Please consider a copyright license that protects the users of this software.
**Your project is labeled to use the MIT license, which is an open source license but it has the strict allowance that code under this license can be re-released by anyone later as closed source**.

The direct effect is that while todays release is open source, there is no way to know that next month your organization does not decide to relicense to a closed source version. We just have your promise to not do that.

This is a huge risk to merchants. Merchants that would use this product want to receive updates, may want to pay someone to build features and generally want to make sure that they don't lock themselves into a dead-end project.

Maybe also relevant for your own motivation is that any competitor can come and fork your project and compete against you with a closed source project using your own code as a basis.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Please consider relicensing your project to use a so called "copyleft" license which disallows you or anyone else from using this code against the userbase. I personally prefer GPLv3 for this.

**Additional context**

In Bitcoin Cash we had several cases where companies did follow the route I explained, which cost the community a lot.

The first is that the company nchain has relicensed their fork of one full node to no longer be open source. Code that goes in there can not be copied by others, they had some rule about the code being limited to their chain only.

The second is that the Bitcoin,com wallet was forked from another and after a year of development and getting a lot of people using their product, they stopped posting sources. They effectively made it closed source.

Neither of these actions is possible with any of the GPL licenses. Please consider protecting your users by adopting a GPL license.
