Why is tldraw getting more and more centralized/requiring a special license...
I like tldraw as a software but I used to see tldraw having multiple pages in the same canvas and that had helped me tremendously in the past which It seems is now a sign up feature...
I hope excalidraw can catch up too. The more options and the more truly foss options, the better...

> Our 4.0 release includes a new license with changes to where tldraw can be used. Fate and capital both demand that tldraw be a sustainable project, so these changes are designed to help us commercialize the SDK without cutting off community adoption.

Sharing a link is also a sign up feature now. Didn't tldraw come up after Excalidraw was already quite popular? Seems like a missed opportunity for the latter since tldraw came up after and was able to figure out a business angle for a similar (same?) software.

Great project!
If I may ask - how do you guys compare with React Flow?
BTW - licensing looks fair, hope the effort that has been put into this project pays off!

Wow, that is a pretty hefty license fee...

Peanuts if you build a business on top of the SDK.

That is a massive license fee here.
IMO A 100-day trial is too short to try it.
I would more likely to use tldraw if it had a monthly fee even at $100-$300/mo.
But $6K a year and getting only community support is a huge risk for some SMEs.
