Thanks! I tried entering YC in the fall 2021 batch, and got to the top 10%. I believe my main problem wrt YC is that I currently lack a co-founder, so I did not apply in the Spring as this was still the case. I am seriously thinking about open source, I believe for instance WebRTC found a good model with dual-licensing, where you have something like AGPL with the option of buying exceptions. I have had multiple advisors telling me not to though, they fear it would scare away any potential investors ;)

Do what your heart feels is right.

I entered YC as a solo-founder with Wasmer, so I think it might just be a circumstantial thing (they receive a lot of applications so it's always hard to judge who should enter with the limited time and data they have to make a decision). I would really encourage you to apply again! In any case I'd love to help you on both aspects (YC application and OSS), I believe your idea has really great potential. Please ping me to syrus@wasmer.io and we can schedule some time to chat!
