You are the side of open-source that the world needs. We were going to keep the current repository as-is because it's written in Go, but we'll introduce a new one. Upon announcing that V2 was paid only, people were angry (understandably). We spoke with the community and the consensus was that everyone would prefer that we 'archive' V1 (Golang) and then open-source V2 moving forward. Sorry for the bad communication, it's been challenging with the move between languages!
That makes a ton of sense- you'll be able to get a lot more community support from the PHP community than the Golang one, just do to nature of size (and the fact that PHP is still very much a web language, which targets your audience well). It's been a few years since I was really involved in that community, but I still maintain a few open source projects and keep up with the language- who knows, maybe I'll be able to throw some bug fixes your way.
