Yes, Intel has every right to do whatever they please with their intellectual property. We have no say in their decision making, like re-licensing or if it's made private. They own it.
However, what we can control is the sentiment. Don't defend a multi-billion dollar company.

Still, I can't imagine they'll sell many licenses.

Comments here are focusing on economics reasons to why they are making it closed source. But when I readtm the description of the lib in Michael post:
>It is suitable for usage scenarios such as deep packet inspection (DPI)
I have my own idea why they don't want us to read the code anymore...

It could have been written using any license under the sun, including GPL, and they would still be allowed to relicense it to _whatever_ they want. Any BSD licensed version is still BSD licensed and available for forking as has already been done.Last edited by Volta; 13 May 2024, 06:22 AM.

It's far from being almost impossible to make GPL projects proprietary. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

There's always https://crates.io/crates/regex-automata (also just the regex crate, which is a bit higher level, but r-a is more in line with hyperscan I guess). And https://crates.io/crates/aho-corasick too, which regex-automata uses when "perf" feature is enabled.
