Thank you (and siblings) for an answer! I especially appreciate the reasons given.
You are of course correct - requesting a commercial license for any potential competitor will limit users' options with respect to the provider they choose. It does however grant them the option to self-host. While not that convenient, it still provides some incentive for me to try better, and is a backup plan for users if I become unresponsive. Better for users (and safer for me) than Open Core I think?
That said, the decision is not final yet, and I'm also not satisfied with any license I checked (closest is Common Clause, but what happens with snippets of code, reused in other, maybe foss projects?). Thank you!
- mikekchar 8y agoJust to be clear (without being annoying I hope), there will be a class of users (myself included) who won't touch it. I would consider it a proprietary license. It isn't a kind of open source compromise. Having said that, there are a lot of considerably worse proprietary licenses. Good luck on your endeavours!

- Drdrdrq 8y agoYes, it is clear, and I appreciate your thoughts a lot! I am just hoping that this class of users is in minority... ;) Good luck to you too, and thank you!
