so you want a non-commercial use license. these aren't seen as open source by most people, but perhaps they'll be accepted by users.

calling it open source is harming actual open source projects by making people fear adopting them.

No, I want a non-commercial license for non-human entities.

I don't care if someone is using my software in their family bakery. If anything I'd be super happy about that.

What I do mind is someone using my software in their multinational baking conglomerate without me ever seeing a cent for the work, while at the same time keeping other developers from ever being paid for developing the software in house.

Sorry if miss-logicing in these quotes. Please do correct if you thing they're taken out-of-place.

A bakery is commercial. They software they use is baked into the oven and POS. 'family bakery' - do you mind a family member in the store, do you mind them logging it with your name? Do you mind them using a camera to recognise when you come in? Do you mind a staff member recognising you when you come in? Is tallying today's weather vs sandwiches sales OK? Credit card promotion? Different level of Personally Identifiable Identification.

Why not? What's the license? Assume in Github. Ask for comments. The people in these companies are hackers too and not cold-blooded fuck-the-customer. If you're got good code for baking, contribute.
