@RobotToaster Maybe, but maybe not. The sale of open source software is already a thing (look at Rhel. Not quite the same, but you get what I mean). The hypothetical license is not prohibiting the use of the software for corporate purposes. It must only be purchased. And the price is decided by an association, so you can't put an unreasonable price to prohibit the use.
