And yeah that is exactly what is gonna happen the moment MYBB make adjustments to the license so you all can have your closed licenses for the plugins. MYBB will be seen as a total JOKE by many because a supposed opensource/GPL project caved in to those few who as well happen to have donated the most to the project.  Need not say how that looks.

Create a fork of the MyBB project if you are so vehement about keeping every aspect of it free, in all senses of the term. You have said that you're willing to provide your work for free:

Fork it. You'll then have total control over the licence and enforcing it. What better way to serve the community than forking the project? You suggest the existing team are being manipulated, so they obviously cannot be trusted to do so.
