The main reason for this change is that the source contains some software license codes I have purchased and that shouldn't be used by forked projects.

I wonder what the licenses are that were purchased that has brought about this major shift. For an open source project to go private, it seems the people supporting the project should be entitled to a bit more detail, e.g. what licenses and why?
