I suggest we start doing a similar thing for FOSS projects. I.e., it's open source unless you are MegaCorp with profit > $1B, then you have to pay. Sounds fair to me, and might help FOSS to get some better funding.

Then your project would no longer be FOSS.

Depends on what you value more. Strict adherence to some definition someone once made up, or sustainable funding of your project.

If it bothers you, you can call it FOSS* instead.

You can always make a commercial closed source project.

This project is not open source. That part of the license violates the open source definition. Meta AI is lying when they write Llama 2 is open source .
