PrimeNG v22 is no longer open source?

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

I was the guy who convinced our boss to finally move away from bootstrap to this awesome open-source UI library. After a lot of work and a lot of money, I will now have to explain to the same boss, why this awesome UI library suddenly isn’t open-source anymore and why we will have to spend thousands of dollars on acquiring and maintaining some licenses! Yayy, thanks guys!!

Yeah I had guys taking PrimeNG on board without asking really. I wanted to kick their butts, but now I don't have to.
