Today, I need your help.

We developed a #smartContract based system to finally stop the exploitation of #opensource developers. (https://www.license-token.com/)

In short, it is a license (inspired by the server side and apache license) and smart contracts. With the token based apporach, everybody can fork and extend code, but with the condition that commercial use leads to developer compensation over the Blockchain.

The approach was already applied in the Fahrbar20 project of the German government.

Now, this is a first implementation and we need more reference project to improve the approach further.

Hence, I reach out for:

- gathering #feedback

- interested projects to collaborate

- fellows who help to spread the word

- supporter who buy something from our project funding NFT collection.

Any kind of help and may it just so small is appreciated. Thank you already in advance.

Best

The website seems to be sparse on details. Is there some place I can read about what mechanism forces commercial users to obtain a license, or who determines if a particular use is "commercial"?

As a simple example, if a group of friends runs a chat server and doesn't charge money, that's presumably non-commercial. If their friends chip in to help cover costs, does it then become a commercial use?

Hi and thanks for the questions. Those matter to know what to improve.

The mechanism to force the procurement of a license is the legal one. The coders can proof the ownership of the copyright and apply legal enforcement. The more people using the license the more the legal enforcement can be done.

Was that now understandable?

The commercial use is that the entity applying and executing the code is aspiring profitability.

Bow clearer. Please ask. We learn.

Generally Rome was not built in a day. This is why we search partner projects applying the license that we stepwise fill white spots and resolve bugs. Therefore we reach out here for supporters, partners and idea pushers. We cannot change the world alone. Together we can.

Thank you.
