Where did you read that? The github pages are all still open and receiving updates, you can still self-host the bridges and its under the apache-2.0 license, just like it's always been.

I didn't read anything I looked it up. The app and the new "Beeper cloud" server are both closed source.

I'd suggest looking in to it farther. The commenter above basically covered it, but no, beeper is not all closed source. Their hosted server has never been open source, but all the self-hosted bridges have been, and continue to be. You can run your own, open source, self-hosted beeper server, just like you've always been able to. There's nothing embrace, extend extinguish about that.
