Could you add some information about licence? Currently I don't know what is it compatible with and it's not listed on OSI. So unless someone's up for reading lots of legalese, it's not easy to use/publish.

Yeah, this still doesn't answer: can I use this with agpl, gpl, lgpl, apache2, others. The summary on top seems to imply that it's not AGPL/GPL compatible since it talks about granting specific types of organisations some monetization privileges. It doesn't simplify what the rules are (what qualifies as use?), without having to read the licence itself.
On the first read it's basically: compatible with BSD-like and PPL... and not much else?
It actually seems to break the licensing itself - the colorize gem is GPL2, which seems not compatible with PPL. https://github.com/fazibear/colorize/blob/master/LICENSE https://codeberg.org/skinnyjames/hokusai/src/commit/5380728d...
Yeah, the main thing I understand about PPL is that it behaves like the GPL license, but has provisions for worker owned cooperatives or non-profits. 4.c. (Looking at the information again around this license, I suspect I may be incorrect though)
And you are correct, including colorize does break GPL2, I'm surprised I missed that.
Any lawyers out there? :)
