Actually I disagree. I'm aware Oen and Lee have provided a shit ton of open source stuff for the community, but you're wrong here.
I don't get involved with Otclient drama (in fact, I only mostly shitpost thesedays) but releasing sources for v8 will progress open sourced otclients, which, at the end of the day, that is what Otland is about. So I don't see any reason for it to be removed.
If you don't like it, fuck off back to your Discord server and cry about closed source projects being released there.
Edit:
I disagree, it removes coders who are trying to profit from an open source community from the open source community. I see no issues here.
Only thing I "profit" off is custom work that people request, which is exactly what Aurelion etc did before all the bad press came out about them?.
I do a ton of free work, as you pointed out in your post.
I get 0 profit from otclientv8 being open or closed source, so that doesn't bother me at all what it is.
I get the whole they want it open source etc but spamming the links everywhere and making new discord accounts etc, is the wrong way about going about it.
They aren't doing it now to make it open source, they are doing it now just to be toxic.
We are supposed to be a community, not just screwing people off left right and centre who work hard to make things others did not.
