Nothing is stopping you from using your own source available license. Mongo did it, and they're doing okay.
It seems like you're arguing something different: You (general you) want the distinction and, more importantly, goodwill that the "open source" label gives you, but without actually having to fit the parameters of "open source".
- _puk 6y agoNo, not really. I'm just asking why an innocent question along the lines of "couldn't we.." gets immediately shut down as "No, That's not open source". What is ultimately wrong with having real world limitations to a licence?
