It's a choice to distribute software for "free" as in "free beer".
- lobocinza 5y agoTo be fair open source licenses tend to mix both. Is there a license that is like MIT but with special clauses for people making big bucket? I don't think I can just put an extra clause on it that says something on the line of "if you are using this to earn more than X big macs by year then you have to pay me or be subject to a fine". This radically changes things as it may void the liability clause and also make code less fungible. And there's the issue of fairness to contributors.
