i want to write. what i don't want is someone else to profit from it without me getting a cut.
that would stop me, because why should i allow myself to be exploited.
this works for contracted work as it is usually paid enough to live off it. and it works for FOSS to a degree as reselling that usually takes extra work (but we are getting to the limits of that too)
i don't know what the best model for this is. maybe some kind of tax for the commercial reproduction like some countries have for music? i think this would still work without any exclusive copyright.
or seen from the other side, open up copyright to allow unlimited non profit use and reproduction
