Ahh, the Peanut Butter Hula Hoops crazy licence: http://www.billthelizard.com/2012/05/which-open-source-licen...

The more I think about it the more I like this dual licencing setup which seems a realistic way to ensure those working on OS get paid.

It lets everyone experimenting enjoy the code, whether they are a destitute student or an aspiring startup.

Meanwhile, if you are someone who wants to actually make money from this AND want to hide your own code, you've got to pay the piper.

Otherwise you end up in BSD land (or is it MIT land) where everyone takes from your project and give nothing back.
