> This licensing is more permissive but still permits the author to sell commercial licenses to those making closed-source code changes. I think the point is that the authors don't want want to continue selling licenses, as it wasn't worth the hassle. I guess `sold`, the macOS version is an exception.

> it wasn't worth the hassle If selling licenses is a hassle, then that indicates a problem with the open source ecosystem as GitHub and other code hosting websites should offer monetization tools for selling closed-source licenses directly from their web interface. I'm talking legal forms, templates, payment processors, and product tracking. Selling licenses should be easy, not a hassle.

  The MPL or the BSL would be a better license. The best would be the MPL with something like Facebook's "700 mil mau" and above requiring a support contract. The Mangas corps benefit the most from mold given the inherent size of their C++ codebases.
