问题:

I am developing a web based opensource project. I was considering the AGPL v3, but I explicitly want to prevent commercial use. Non-profit orgs are welcome to use it for free.

It seems to be a common thing in the software world, but I am looking for a pre-written license that I could use or adapt.

Any ideas where I can find such a thing? Are there accepted opensource licenses that fit this criteria?

回答1:

It is not a good idea to use such a license, because it is sometimes very hard to draw the line between commercial and non-commercial, especially juridically.

However, you may check out Creative Commons licenses.



回答2:

You won't find any open source licenses that prevent commercial use. That's against the spirit of open source and wouldn't fit into the definition of open source.



回答3:

There cannot possibly be such a license. Forbidding the use of the source code is the exact opposite of open source. Ergo, there cannot ever possible be an open source license which has such a restriction, and a license which has such a restriction cannot ever possibly be an open source license.
