I can't speak for Andrew, and certainly even less for past Andrew (this is an old link), especially when quoted by somebody banned from the community.
What I can say about present-day Zig, as VP of Community at the Zig Software Foundation, is that, to put it in simple terms, we want to take a step away from the usual "get vc money, build a moat" dance that big tech likes to play.
That said, we aren't anti-business and in fact the choice of an MIT license is deliberate to provide the highest degree of freedom to any Zig user, be it individuals or companies.
The problem is that the Zig project just doesn't want anything to do with connectFree and so Andrew took appropriate measures to cut them off.
In light of the consequences of Mozilla depending so much on corporate sponsorships, it almost seems weird to me that we need to clarify why we'd like to walk a different path.
