uh, don't want to sound like an ass but why build an entire platform from ground zero? why not reuse something like peertube and make an instance on it. You could then divert your attention into making it pay-for-play (ha ha) or whatever you like and you get the benefit of the entire peertube community. I know the feeling of doing everything from scratch but why waste resources when you can use them elsewhere? That said, if you have already invested a lot of time/energy/money into the project, good luck to you. Look at Agpl license. It is a pretty nice. >The only things that are currently blocking me are the fear that a competitor might use our technology without respecting licensing, and that bad actors use a zero-day breach to access customer data. if these are your only concerns then how about SSPL? no for profit company will touch your codebase because it is extremly viral meaning if they use your software, they would have to open source EVERYTHING ELSE ALSO. If you don't want to go that far, Agpl is pretty nice as i said. Companies like google dont even allow it in their internal use because they would have to open source any changes. Here is the thing, why do you want to open source the codebase? There is a slight but important difference between "Free software" and "open source" software so you should look that one up too to take pointers.
