Behind on schedule.

You see, the Lerna contributors already retracted the license change and kicked the culprit out of the project due to Code of Conduct violations.

Despite his numerous (and appreciated) contributions in the past, it has been very clear for quite some time now that he has decided to cease making constructive contributions to the Lerna codebase as well as actively and willfully disregarding the code of conduct that he himself added to the project.

I really wonder what happened here. Being removed from a project based on the code of conduct you added yourself suggests someone either became seriously bitter along the way or a lack of self awareness to begin with.

They should really have switched to GPLv3, which would cause Palantir and the ICE much more headaches than such a non-open source license change.
