I would encourage you to release this under a free software license like GPL. People are increasingly skeptical of "platforms" and proprietary licensing.

The Affero GPL is especially suitable for hosted computing and services: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html
You're also welcome to cross-post to Able to help build an audience to your blog too. One thing we don't want to do is bait and switch users like other venture funded companies have done recently. We just want to build a good community and charge businesses to advertise jobs to good people.
I understand your skepticism though, hopefully over time we can prove that not everyone has to play that game.
