Truth is, to get right to the point, the fact that Matrix was accompanied by a for-profit entity, funded by venture capital was the biggest mistake that Matrix as a project has ever made.

Yeah they have the rights to do it, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing to do, doesn’t mean it won’t negatively impact the future of the project.
Redis had the rights to change the license of redis, look at where that led them.
If the best argument in favor of something is “you have the right to do it,” the thing usually isn’t very good
Hard to see how them choosing to charge money to access their server will affect the future of the project, even them choosing to not run a free for anyone server any more wouldn’t necessarily affect the future of the project because the project is not to provide a free for all server but to develop software. Either way, them trying to find a way to keep the server operating certainly doesn’t mean ‘Matrix is cooked’.
As far as Redis goes, as I understand it, they moved their software away from an open source license. There’s zero indication Matrix are going to do the same thing.
