I don't envy you... And as a software dev you don't want to be spending hours on legal stuff either.
I do love the way you have the price so low.

For sure... drafting EULAs, working with lawyers, setting up a sales pipeline is not the fun stuff.
Would much rather work on bug fixes and features! Just a necessary evil to be able to fund development. In an ideal world - could just write open source software and not worry about paying bills.

Can you put in a formal license statement saying that each change will become mit-licensed 18 months after it's committed? That way, there's no ambiguity if development stops and releases stop getting put in the oni2-mit repository.
We wanted a model where, unlike completely proprietary licenses, the source code could be available - and, worst case, if something happened to the project - users could still have full access to it. And that all the work is eventually available in general.
Our first OSS drops - from 18 months ago - are coming in next month (July 2nd), so that'll be exciting. It will be interesting to see how it works out.
