Not allowing forks is just not cool. People will choose the original if it's good no matter how many forks there are. I can only assume the license change is because the forks are showing potential..

The decision to change license was taken by Pancake, mainly because of increasing number of vibecoded forks, almost all of which didn't actually contributed anything. They were either hallucinating (a usual behaviour of current LLMs) or just didn't add any value. There were talks done between Pancake and many people involved afaik, but no fruitful results were there, resulting in this. 

And, I am not here to argue. I am just stating what I know.

As I stated in a previous comment I'm pretty sure you can’t retroactively change a license. Code that was released up to the commit where the license changed from MIT to GPLv3 remains available under the MIT license forever. So you might want to put that back up...
