I don't claim that this is a free or open source license. The OpenFare license is about monetizing software in the most convenient way possible. I agree with the open source definition as given here:

But if your license isn't open source, then what good is it for monetizing open source programs?

I think the entire point of the article is dual license FOSS and some other commercial license.

Of the root article, yes. But it doesn't sound like that's the intent of your license.

You asked:

> But if your license isn't open source, then what good is it for monetizing open source programs?

The OpenFare License is the commercial license that I believe should be used in the dual licensing circumstance described in the article. Thereby helping to monetizing open source programs.

The OpenFare License intends to provide that commercial aspect whilst being equivalent to the MIT License where possible.

Okay. I didn't expect that to be the case, but I'm happy to hear that it is.
