Would you mind elaborating on your definitions for the terms "open-source"
and "liberal licensing"?

I'm not sure I like the current licensing scheme for clj-peg and I've spent
quite a bit of time thinking about how I should approach this project's
license in particular. I have two very different perspectives about this
issue.

On the one hand, if I were a user and not the developer I doubt I'd use this
library because I really don't like paying for software. I also would be a
bit wary of the 'except for commercial use' part in the license.

On the other hand, I've put a significant amount of time and energy into
this as a product. Money isn't what it used to be and I'm reluctant to lose
the potential extra income that a dual license might provide.

There is value in augmenting whatever reputation I have by providing the
code for free, but reputation alone doesn't pay the bills.

So... that's why I'm wondering if you would mind helping me understand your
point-of-view.
