“Previous licensing models – the “open core” model, GPL, and permissive licenses like BSD and Apache-2.0 – are not sufficient for the way OSS is distributed and used today.” This line _really_ bugged me. These licenses are still a perfect fit and more than sufficient for how OSS is distributed & used today. What they’re maybe not perfect for is starting an open source, VC funded business, but they never have been. And the companies that face “existential threat” are a small minority of the total activity going on under these licenses, so maybe, ya know, the problem is the small collection of companies trying to operate this way and not the license.
