>People can develop software out in the open and say "use it as it is, for free!", "use it as part of a new product, for free!", but also say "please do not sell this software as it is" and "please do not make and sell an almost-identical product using this software".

The Common Clause isn't about preventing shovelware, it's specifically about restricting the user's freedom to sell any derivative work--it straight up says in the 1st FAQ that it's to transition existing actually FOSS projects to non-libre software.

Also that's just the way SirCmpwn writes!
