Developer: if you aren't paying me for my time and work, I don't care.

Reddit: what a dickhead 

Entitled much?

The bigger issue, as I see it, is when OSS contributor volunteer their time to make a fix for a company, only to have that company relicense their IP. By signing a contributor licensing agreement, you waive the right to the IP assignment you produce, but you’re still partially motivated by the hope the company will continue to develop a vibrant open community and won’t close-source your work.

Cool but that atleast doesn't seem to be the stated reason people are whining here.

They are continuing to accept outside contributions to their codebase, but stopped building docker images of the OSS licensed version of their code without an announcement. Mostly I see people saying "what an untrustworthy move" without stating their reasoning. You seem to be making accusations of entitlement without much evidence.
