Really appreciate the feedback and discussion! We will seriously consider the license issue.

Please DO let us know if you have any better license options than Common Clause that can help provide an open-source project for the community while stop cloud vendors from monetizing without contributing back?

Thanks again!



I follow a few licensing blogs, and I know people are talking about and working on alternatives to Common Clause. As far as I can tell, all will disappoint those who believe the OSI's definition of "Open Source" is the one true open source.

Much appreciated! We will definitely check these out and re-consider our license.
