Comment Maybe we need a draft license for this. (Score 1) 187
I think this setup can work (of course I have a few modifications of my own to add), not as a replacement of OSS but as yet another third model of development. I think it might cause some apps which are not available today to become available cheaply, which is not as good as getting them for free (yeah, I know about beer and speech, but beer is also important), but it is better than not having them at all, or paying M$ et al.
Maybe someone should write a draft license which will express these ideas concretely, and then we can discuss it from there.
Even if this license does not meet Open Source specifications, I still think it has a flying chance of becoming useful and valuable. Of course there is the danger of having this thing squashed between the OSS and Commercial worlds, but it would be an interesting experiment.
