I think they appear to be surviving just fine - they are switching forks not shuttering their doors or even withdrawing ES compatibility.
Suddenly changing licenses to increase how restrictive it is absolutely is a nightmare scenario to a lot of businesses and it quite rationally is so. We share software and build on each other's shoulders, to reject that and build everything from scratch is silly and fiscally irresponsible.
I'm very confused why this is so strongly stated when it's likely that most of us have, at one point, sat down with two pieces of libraries and gone with the less useful one due to licensing issues.
