> It seems totally reasonable and not violating the spirit of "open source" to say you can modify and self-host for any purpose, but you can't re-sell.

Personally I would heavily disagree with that, and that statement is something I see as against the spirit of open source. In my view, open source and free software mainly intend to use licensing to put the freedoms and rights of the code & it's users in front of those of it's authors. Being able to re-sell has always been a significant point, and part of the spirit, in free software and open source.

It's just an honest disagreement. I don't think your opinion is the way, but I don't begrudge it.

I'm just not an ideologue. What matters to me is having as much software tooling that is as useful to me as possible. I consider tools that I can modify and run myself to be more useful than those that are proprietary. But I don't require or demand the ability to re-sell someone else's software; that isn't a capability that is useful to me. That capability is pretty much entirely only useful to Amazon and Google, and that's just not something I care about optimizing for.
