this is why you should release your opensource project with the license of being free only for individual, not for enterprises.
enterprise must pay.
- fph 10mo agoIf it's not free for enterprises then it's not open source, according to the commonly accepted definition.
- mrs6969 10mo agoBeing open source and being free are entirely different things though. You can view, read the code = open source. The latter is about money.
- fph 10mo agoOpen source is not only about being able to read the code: the open source definition includes "Free Redistribution" (anyone who has the software can give away copies, and get paid if they want) and "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor", among other requirements. These two requirements combined make it impossible to distribute open source software with the provision that it is only free for individuals.
