That's a good question. I thought Zed Shaw had licensed lamson under those terms, but I see nothing about that on his github right now.
While I can't find a use in the wild, an example of a license I would consider to be:
* open source
* prohibit for profit use
is: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/
You are welcome to say that creative commons is not open source (many people whose opinions I value highly feel that way), but it is commonly described in those terms (or at least it was when it first came out while I was in college).
Also, here is a plug for the world's greatest license (I'm tragically not affiliated with the author): http://davispj.com/2010/02/19/agpl-not-awesome-gpl.html http://davispj.com/2010/02/19/agpl-not-awesome-gpl.html
- xyzzyz 15y agoOpen Source is not only about access to the source code, just like Free Software is not only about software price. By using these terms inappropriately, you only create misunderstanding and confusion, so please don't. CC licenses are not supposed to be used as software licenses anyway.
- rwolf 15y agoI'm not trying to push a viewpoint--I'm trying to describe the current use of a phrase. How I feel about licenses does not change the way the phrase "open source" is used here and elsewhere.
