I think this is fine. The author has the right to do whatever they want with their own product. Bummer for me as I like this linker, but probably wouldn't use it if this change is made, as my small one person company wouldn't be able to pay.
That said, I personally don't see it being successful if this is done, and my suspicion is it might even be forked so an open source version could remain. It sucks that they aren't making any money, but I don't think this type of project works in any model except open source anymore. I could be wrong and hope for the sake of the author that I am.
