Yeah open source monetization sucks in the corporate world. Maybe there could be a license that goes something along the lines of "you may use this for free as long as your company's yearly revenue isn't over X €"

    Called "Fair use" or "ethical software" but people hate it and lawyers tell you it is not enforceable for... some reason

    I think a better enforcable solution would be taxing the shit out of these corporations, then give state grants to open source projects. I actually looked into licenses that would allow me to force corpos to donate, but they're unenforcable.

    What about something like "1 gold bar price*7.4"? It would keep up with inflation way more. Currently 1kg of gold has a value around 135.992€ btw

    [I am not an economist, i am just a random dude who thought it was a good idea due to gold value having always the same value or smth like that]
