It was free until this point:

This restriction is really vague, but it's obviously an unacceptable
restriction on freedom 3. It says if a derived version shares the same
"general purpose" as Flagfox, you're not allowed to distribute it
through an "official service for any web browser". This seems to mean,
for example, you wouldn't be allowed to make a version that fixes a
bug and distribute it in the list of add-ons for IceCat.

Plus, its purpose is obviously to sabotage competition, and that's an
inherently evil purpose.
