I would not care so much about the definition of open source.

My ideal scenario is that code is open, can be improved and reused among commercial and non-commercial endeavors. I also would like that some of the value created by users of the open code flows back to the creators.

Individual commercial licenses do not create this ideal as they are monolithic and does not reflect that open source is a network of many dependencies.

Companies would be willing to pay for open source but they do not want to manage each node in their dependency graph individually. Thus the need for some centralized tax and redistribution system.
