Your app is released under GPL license (I'm not even sure it's possible to build any application from this source code).
Under the terms of which ANY person, even businesses, has the right to take the source code and use the application without demanding any payment. I see that with new version, you have become even more greedy, and instead of demanding money, you started to extort it, discriminating against a certain group of users and hiding from them the possibility to use the application for free. Yes, you can put conditions on binaries, but the code is licensed under a specific license, with specific conditions, that allows you to use the application for free, you're deliberately hiding this opportunity, sneakily changing items from the faq (where it used to be clearly stated that anyone could use it for free).

Looks like you can actually charge for the software even if it is GPL licensed. The developer doesn't demand money either. I do 100% overwhelmingly agree that the documentation for building from the source code is severely lacking
