    I’m far from an expert on licenses, but logic tells me that any version that was released with the previous license is still under that previous license. So it’s probably okay to fork from a previous version to maintain linux support?

      That’s actually the version that’s in the AUR, since they can’t put newer (fixed) code in there from the new versions.

        AUR can. It’s just locally checking out the code from git and compiling it locally as well. I’m not a pro AUR maintainer but I’m not aware of a single AUR entry that ships software source code directly from AUR.
