Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

This was asked before, but it is under the AGPL (which means that if you modify the code you must make the modifications public), to make it a closed source project you would have to get the agreement of every contributor or rewrite it's code which is very hard to do (and i don't think i ever heard something like this happened). The federated aspect is another line of defense.
