This change, and the whole EULA itself goes against the MIT license. The community is legally allowed to fork, use, copy, and modify the software, which also includes circumventing or removing your restrictions entirely. If you do not like this, then please change your project license.

Hi @MrHamel please read the EULA carefully to understand the scope of the change. This does change not affect the source code.

Are you working at a company that's been using OpenFaaS for commercial purposes or reselling the project for profit?
