  Ah, the good old RMS / ESR debate. Open Source means just that: that the source is open and available. You are thinking about "free software" > https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html.en https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

    Open Source means that the license meets the Open Source Definition[1]. That includes "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor ... For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business...". What you're describing is sometimes referred to as a "source available" license, which is a much lower standard.

    Not according to OSI, discrimination for personal vs. corporate use is not allowed by the Open Source Definition.
