What stops Amazon from establishing a separate company called Totally Not Amazon, which employs 1 person, and hosts your software for the rest of Amazon, and has revenue much less than 1M$ so they can use it for free?
If they need more capacity than 1M would plausibly buy them from themselves, just establish however many more identical companies are necessary, none of which exceed 1M$.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoProbably language that suggests if amazon would like to do that they would need to split the entire company into a million pieces to each be under the revenue limit. In practice though amazon engineers would reverse engineer any tool they cant legally use and need.
- amelius 3y agoThis shows more what's wrong with corporate law than with the idea behind this license.
- kazinator 3y agoProbably the same thing that stops Amazon from establishing a Totally Not Amazon that has zero revenue, so that Amazon can use all sorts of "free for non-commercial use" software.
