They didn't. The Gemini CLI repo is still up, still Apache 2.0. What ended on June 18 was free consumer access to Google's backend. The client was always forkable.

It markets as an all-in-one AI sales platform. It mostly isn't. Underneath, it's an orchestration layer over sending infrastructure, enrichment APIs, and model providers you bring and pay for yourself.
