That’s how I understood it and that’s radically different than how this HN post got titled.

We wrote a different title for this blog post, and we did in fact buy Litestream (to the extent that anyone can "buy" a FOSS project, of course).

> (to the extent that anyone can "buy" a FOSS project, of course).

Does this mean that, in addition to offering a salary / options, you provided some sort of additional one-time compensation for copyright assignment?

All the code that has already been written/published already has the FOSS license (in this case APLv2). No take-backsies.

So presumably no, there was not a one-time compensation for copyright assignment.
