So I see the networking portions of the code are Free Software - that's great. How are people expected to use it if their use does not fall under "non-commercial use" as defined in the client license? Do you expect people to write their own clients for commercial use, or do you offer commercial licenses?
For non-commercial use, you're prohibited from selling it, but using it within your organization is permitted
You do realize this also means that a for-profit company can’t use the software at all, right?
Unmodified, modified, whatever.
I don’t think that was your intent, but that’s exactly how it reads. Or maybe that is your intent?
The idea if you want to sell clients, you need to get a permission form our association.
Why not use the GPL?
Because we want to provide other organizations with the opportunity to offer paid sync services, we needed to incorporate the concept of a network into the license. We crafted the license with that consideration in mind
