Love your hybrid model via gumroad! I do something similar for my own open-source project

There should be some sort of support group for those of us trying to monetize (sans donations) our open source projects!

I just found out gumroad pays VAT on recurring payments a couple of weeks ago.

We probably need a new license though because piggybacking on MIT (or any other license) like I try to do is rubbing people the wrong way.

But law and money are my least favourite passtimes, so I'm going to let somebody else do it first unless somebody is willing to force this change by buying a license and asking for a better license text.

Your source-available projects. Nothing wrong with licensing your work that way (in the sense that you can make that choice, not in the sense that I think its a good idea) but please don't muddle the term "open source".

Well technically rupy is open-source (ALGPL, yet another license that still doesn't exist) and since fuse (source-available) is built on top, you can maybe call it open-source, specially since rupy is like 90% of the code.

Thanks for your input I will still continue to use whatever phrasing I see fit :)
