I don't think I'd really get a lot of money on Kickstarter. if people want to financially support the project, they can simply get a license [0].

Yeah, I think I was one of the early licenses, but I was wondering if there was a way to open source it while preserving the financial benefits.

Thank you for having gotten a license. I've given it a lot of thought and don't think there is a way to open source and become financially viable. See for instance https://fman.io/blog/why-fman-isnt-open-source/.
