#OpenSource world's #BrucePerens emits draft #PostOpenZeroCost License
The basic idea is companies making more than $5 million annually by using #PostOpen #software in a paid-for product would be required to pay 1 percent of their revenue back to this administrative organization, a 501(c)(6) non-profit, which would distribute the funds to the maintainers and #developers of the participating open source project(s)

@olaf I have asked @BrucePerens_K6BP to come and speak at a @nluug conference a number of times, but it never came to a realization, so far.

This ‘post open’ idea is an interesting view on how to change the world. Part of the ideas of Bruce are already well embedded in the business model of my company. Much more so than the ‘Stallman ideas’. And they work, but it is a lengthy process to actually be successful.

I will still be promoting #opensource everywhere though. The #postopen narrative will need a lot of explaining and exposure first.
