Look harder. Look at dual licensing.

I'm sorry, I know this is not what you want to hear, but seriously, I
think you are making a serious mistake.

Let me translate that:

"You don't know advance if you have violated the licence. But we will
tell you the moment you do!"

_No_ sane company would go for that.

Irrelevant.

Still irrelevant. I am sorry, but it is.

You are shooting yourself in the foot. There is no advantage to you in
this route, and it will take extra effort. It is a bad plan.

As the launch announcement for OSv said today:

"These days, credibility == open source"

Not open source? Not credible.

You're not Free.

This will mean lots of potential parties will not be interested, no
matter how cool the product.
