They clearly intend it to be very narrow it seems.
Can you point out any way it will restrict me or anyone else from using it internally?
BTW: It may seem I think this is all good.
I do not think that.
I do think the cases I've seen so far can be reasonable.
The bigger and more problematic picture I think I see is:
- if every project and its dog applies this that will hurt me if I rely on cloud hosted services
- if the big actors think this is a good idea and start applying thos or something worse to their currently open source software, restricing competition on hosting.
- hollowing out of the open source movement.
