Unethical Take Over of one of my Beloved Plugin

I’ve been a loyal user of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for years and have used the PRO version for several of my sites for clients and personal ones, tons of it. It’s disheartening to see the forced take over into SCF (Security Caterpillar Forklift). This move undermines the trust within the WordPress community. The forced takeover feels unethical and unnecessary, given ACF’s history of reliability and user satisfaction. WE WANT TO TAKE IT BACK!
