Why not change from FOSS to FOSSFI. Where -FI is "for individuals".

Then all businesses must pay to use FOSS.

Is there any benefit in making FOSS free for all users including corporate users?

I could see it if you use the project for proprietary purposes yourself and are not the only contributor, or if you want to reach a wider audience with the project. In general though I'm surprised how large the permissive OSS ecosystem is, but I'm very thankful considering it makes my professional life easier
