Also some fun takeaways: it also makes external calls to azure to load configuration and stays silent after updating for 2 weeks before showing warnings.

Moq is unusable. Needs to be forked or repoaced. Time to switch to NSubstitute.

    This is not the first time it happens with Dotnet Open Source packages, there are some pretty funky things going on namely:

    Imagesharp (They re-license from Apache 2 to something like Community/Commercial licenses and threw a huge fit over it)

    Fody (It expects the software contributors of Fody to be a patron.)

      As in, you can only contribute source code if you also pay in money?

          Interesting, thanks. Well, that’s kind of a good reason, except maybe they should have been more upfront about it.

            I think it’s asinine to ask the developer who contribute to your project, literally taking the time of the day writing the code and submit PR to your project, to pay money to you.

            I wouldn’t even bother contributing to the project at that point.

              Yes, doing this after the fact is a nice way to blow all trust. There is always this attempted lock-in kind of taste.
