They rewrote the entire commit history so there isn't a specific commit history where the license was changed

I'm sorry you feel that way.
That's not the license change diff, that's the diff of almost 6 months of work and over 200,000 lines of code written, easy mistake no?
Commit history has not been re-written, I assume you simply don't own a scroll wheel, because all the old commits are still [right there](https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/commits/master/?after=342...), they are simply just flooded by a massive re-write of the entire codebase.
The specific commit you're likely looking for is [here](https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/commit/9b1ec67e69614684cd...), which yes, you're right, Miru/Hayase is now BSL1.1 based, which is "source available" not "FOSS" mainly to protect the codebase from people who actually tried making money off of it.

What I meant was that there is no diff between new license and old license. I thought it was a force push but it seems it was a rewrite instead.

While I was slightly surprised, I have no complaints at all. From what I can tell, the new version is entirely your's. You are entitled to change your license. I am mildly concerned about whether there'll be paid features or ads in the future but I won't complain about what doesn't yet exist.

Surely, users of software aimed at media piracy will be unwilling to disregard software licenses.
Debian does not seem to have this in their repositories.
I urge users to fork the last open version. Do not contribute to a proprietary codebase for free.
Here's the LICENSE change: https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/compare/v6.1.0...v6.3.7#d...
