It is a venture capital startup. If I start use uv, what's our protection against the company going rogue?

Community will fork it and move on. See the following examples:

* Redis -> redict, valkey

* elastic search -> opensearch

* terraform -> opentofu

(Probably a few more but those are the ones that come to mind when they "go rogue")

Does the current license allow it?

Yes, uv has a standard permissive open source license (Apache-2.0 OR MIT): https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/?tab=readme-ov-file#license
