I get that Commons Clause isn't "open source" but I really love the concept. If a company wishes to productize a creator's work it seems reasonable to pay the creator to alternatively license it (if the company doesn't want to put their secrets out to the public).

Meanwhile the creator gets to share their work freely with anyone who wishes to use it as a component of their own product/software in the spirit of open source.



That's exactly what Common Clause is pursuing IMO.
