Nice initiative. Any exploration into funding publicly used software is a good thing.

May I suggest using the Business Source License as the basis for this instead of the Openfare Commercial License? This way older versions of software would revert to FOSS instead of staying non-free forever.

I really like that idea. I think it's really compelling. The latest features/bug fix can be made available at a price before a certain time limit. And then of course you eventually end up with the advantages of FOSS.

I need to think about it a bit more. And I'd like to hear more opinions on ideas like this.
