Unfortunately, I find myself writing about the Commons Clause again. For those not in the know, the Commons Clause is an addendum designed to be added to free software licenses. The restrictions it imposes (you cannot sell the software) makes the resulting franken-license nonfree. I’m not going to link to the project which brought this subject back into the discussion - they don’t deserve the referral - but the continued proliferation of software using the Commons Clause gives me reason to speak out against it some more.
