You weren't "forced into non-compliance", you could keep your hot dog (=caddy executable you downloaded before) just fine.
The difference between hot dogs and software is that hot dogs don't get (and don't require) updates after the fact, while for software they are important.
EDIT: also, you don't accidentally install new hot dogs through dockerfiles or something - it's quite possible people ran into non-compliance that way, given there was no prior warning.
Again, this stresses the need for clear communication.
> Beginning today, all official Caddy binaries come with an End User License Agreement (EULA) that designates them either for Personal (non-commercial) or Commercial use.
They probably could have clarified this by saying "Beginning with version 0.10.9" instead of "all binaries".
