I read somewhere that they are going to support Macs in 2.0 and Windows in 3.0. Any SWAG when that might happen?

There doesn't seem to be any ETA: Support Windows · Issue #190 · rui314/mold · GitHub
Thx. I'll keep a watch on the issue. My gut says not for this year.

Given the split between mold (AGPL, Linux-only) and sold (commercial version of mold, supports macOS), I strongly suspect that if/when Windows support is brought to mold, it'll be part of the paid tier.
@rui314's written a bit about how they're attempting to get mold to stop losing money. Some of the links I found:
- 1.7.0 release notes, 1.7.1, and 1.8.0 all discuss the licensing.
- The Blue Whale Systems website.
- "Problem with my open-source startup" (2022-11-13) and "Mold linker may not switch to a source-available license" (2022-11-14).
