Hi everyone,
Thanks for the discussion.
Another quick update -
I found out these non-open source licenses which on the other hand are not
completely closed:
https://commonsclause.com
https://polyformproject.org
We're also considering them. Even though they're not open source by OSI, in
some cases

I believe this group is about discussing licenses, and not giving legal
advice about what you can or should do. In that context: "Can I release the
software under a dual license: AGPL and my modified Apache?" yes, you can
do whatever you please with your code. However the world will recognize
that

Can I release the software under a dual license: AGPL and my modified
Apache?
Assuming my modified Apache is not open source by OSI, would the code still
be open source by OSI because it's also licensed under AGPL?
If so, then we end up with either:
* Disclose any modifications
To Ofer's new suggestion making registration a condition: no. That does not
work, either by the letter or, or the spirit of, open source.
I'd *love* to know who uses our code. If we run a meetup for an open source
project we run, we ask people on our message boards to speak (and they tell
us they

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
What if I drop the ethics part and drop the 1$ support minimum?
The license will only require that users of the code will add themselves to
a file in the repo with the following fields:
* Company/individual name
* Description of how the software is used
* Su

You appear to have confused readme.txt and license.txt .

acceptable outcome for yourself, and inspire goodness in others.
