Discussion on: Fakerjs, colors, node-ipc... Why developers cannot be trusted

I'm working on a new license that grants most freedoms of open source but also allows easier monetization for maintainers:

Here's the original idea on DEV:
dev.to/collimarco/why-a-standard-s...

And this is the license on GitHub:
github.com/collimarco/Standard-Sou...

What do you think? Can be a compromise for the future?

One big problem I see with that license: It doesn't allow sharing the code.

Good point, I appreciate it! In my mind it was not prohibited, but I agree that the license doesn't explicitly allow "redistribution" at the moment.

I'm also contacting the OSI mailing list to have more feedback like this.

I'm definitely interested in something that gives more responsibility to maintainers whilst keeping it easy to use by anyone. I'll have a look, thank you for sharing.
