They’ve been very transparent about their monetization strategy and it does not impact uv’s foss model

That's just marketing. Only time will tell. I'll be very happy to be wrong

The time has come. They’re in closed beta with pyx, their first product they’re charging for.

That assumes that pyx (or whatever else they come up with) will be enough to sustain the company.

Yes, as with every single OSS project in existence.

If I write some OSS tool that becomes popular, and lose my job, I might just start monetizing it.

Until they change their minds. If they were serious about it, it would be part of PyCQA

The same PyCQA that they worked hard to do a significantly better job than?
