The trick is to sell it at a high price and immediately fork. Get paid and fuck off.
Then do it again and again and again. Infinite money glitch. Don't worry about getting sued after a bit you'll be rich enough to be immune from prosecution.
The sell contract would probably include a full license transfer of all copyright, and probably a non-compete clause.
How'd uBlock (Origin) get around that?
It was a main branch overtake. Not a sellout. He was kicked put of his project.
Not all transfers include "non competes"
