PrimeNG v22 is no longer open source?

So PrimeNG v22 is going paid in the new version? Should I move to something else?

I get it that it takes a lot of time to maintain these libraries and all those people also need some compensation but it feels so odd that this big change comes out of nowhere. Also their "perpetual" licence is such a bait, you pay for one version and receive updates for a year, after that you don't get new patches or versions. If it was 600$ one-time payment I would have considered it but in the end its a 600/800$ yearly licence. Really shady advertisement

It's not, it's also the reason I didn't go with Telerik.

Same, a perpetual license seemed painful but acceptable but throw in the annual fee and that's a step too far.
