the goal of free software is _freedom_. money has nothing to do with any of it.

    sure but they're not compelled by the license itself. They are compelled to pay for the software in the form of hiring developers to work on it, donating to the foundation behind it, etc. Companies like Red Hat have done this very successfully for a long time because they prefer to keep the supply chain feeding the lifeblood of their enterprise healthy.

      Maybe a dual license then?
