    Maybe the software license should have been one that only allows non commercial use or the open sourcing of all derivative code.

      This is hard though. You present commercial license, and you’ll cut out a good 80-90% of the potential users, which means the OSS project is way more likely to die.

      I think CTOs should be okay with allowing their employees to contribute to projects they use. In my first hand experience, they’re more likely to say “no we shouldn’t”. It’s unfair really.
