Not fixed, covered up.

What a poetic formulation? In reality, they deleted history and they put a license that allows the "freedom" to let them monetize the code. I wonder how's the original author more free with this license? How is anyone more free? Sounds like the license was "accidentally" "too free" in a way that only made themselves more free.

It's, in fact, the precise definition when the open-source project uses the GPLv3 license.
