One reason I held off buying a Trezor was the 100% closed transaction server used for myTrezor.com, there's just no way I'd be happy with that. If this new licence prevents the developers of p2p clients from integrating the code needed to drive the Trezor device, well, it just makes this even more tragic.

That's what I've been thinking about too. I'm not sure how MyTrezor is going to evolve in the coming weeks with these changes. I was actually just trying to setup an instance of it on my local network with no luck. I'll try again later to see if I can get it working, but I sure want to have a backup in case MyTrezor goes down.

By the way, awesome username! Wink

All what's happening now is sad, but myTrezor.com is NOT going down. I have no idea how that became a topic. I did not see alena, slush or stick comment on this yet which they eventually will. Let's voice opinion that we don't like it and let them reconsider and release some official statement. In the meantime keep calm and don't expect myTrezor to vanish.

My personal opinion is that they never gave a promise that ALL future versions of the device will be open source and it's foolish to expect that. If you don't like that buy other open source wallet (shame no other HW wallet is open source and I don't count BWallet as "other" wallet for that matter) or just stay at 1.3.0 firmware that was released as open source. I also think that the rebase of sources was a bad decision and it also has no effect. Bad decisions happen. Even I do them! It's a problem only if you don't reconsider. People retrieved latest version of the open-sourced code with GPL licences so nothing prevents anybody to use yesterday's sorces with GPL licence: https://github.com/rfree/trezor-mcu-gpl/commits/master-gpl if they change licence now, I don't care but it won't work retroactively.
