"Free for noncommercial use" is a legitimate point of view and you can license your software that way if you want, but other projects chose "free to do whatever you want" and that's just as legitimate.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoThere is Ployform Project[1] that provides licenses that include free for noncommercial use. I'm currently having a custom license created so I can release my project for free for non-commercial and commercial orgs with under than $50,000 a year revenue. I want to only charge companies that can afford to pay and help people get off the ground. [1] https://polyformproject.org/ https://polyformproject.org/
- Ekaros 5y ago50 000 of revenue sounds way too low to me. In many countries your average sole-proprietor makes more than that. That is anyone seriously full time should have more revenue...
- that_guy_iain 5y ago50,000 revenue just means you can easily afford paying me some money. Also, it all depends on what country you're in and what model you're in. Bootstrappers for example, 60k is a major milestone - 5K MRR. It's not that they're making lots of money, it's that they're making enough to pay me. A bit of context, my software is what I call a product framework, it provides the user system, payment system, admin system, etc that can be used for SaaS by Bootstrappers. Others may say it's a SaaS bootstrap, but I feel like it's more than that.
