Gunkroad: The creator-economy service Gumroad decided to open-source its platform at a suspiciously convenient time. (And even “open source” might be stretching it.)

    It is definitely not open-source. They created their own license: https://github.com/antiwork/gumroad?tab=License-1-ov-file

    And the tl;dr on the “suspicious timing” is that the owner seems to have gotten rid of support staff and replaced them with an AI chatbot so that he can go “work” for DOGE. Yes, really.
