I think discussion is good , but assuming malice is bad. When you assume malice the devs have every right to be offended. If you piss off the devs the may actually turn bad. In other words what you believe will shape your reality.
Asking the question about scaling to side chains is legitimate. Assuming the devs desire to prevent that is not.
The protocol is open. Anyone could rewrite the code in a new language and use any license they want. If bts thought the license was too restrictive it could hire someone to rewrite it.
The devs were freelance contractors without a contract. Under law that means they own the ip by default. Only employee labor is considered work for hire. Devs are not employees.
It is a very good thing that there exists a legal entity with clear rights otherwise bts code would be too risky for a business to use.
