I've been made aware of FUTO's "source first" licensing. FUTO is headed up by Louis Rossmann.
I'm issuing this warning as a public service announcement to the both the *free software* and *open source* movement:
Do not use FUTO licenses. They are non-free, proprietary software licenses, because they restrict commercial usage.
Freedom to make money is *good*. Freedom to *fork*, including for profit, is a fundamental right that everyone must have. Our movement thrives *because* of this freedom.
