I'm sorry, Marius, I'm confused. How can be it open source, and yet if used commercially, the authors get a cut?
The thing is, we don't see how that hurts the basic tenets of the free
software philosophy.>
Please read: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Note in particular: "Thus, you should be free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere. Being free to do these things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay for permission."
I know this, and this is the single 'wrong' thing about free software in the view on many people (SDC, UUU, Alladin...) Putting the authors out of the loop is silly and unfair.
