I really enjoy seeing that people are indeed working on anticpaitalist licensing. I can already see the argument that it will not be enough or even a hindrance. I personally think it is a great step in the right direction but only the first.

Feel free to disagree, criticize and make suggestions.

I get that. Sounds like a good idea. However, what about co-operative non-profit use? Paying for non-profit use seems counter-intuitive and restrictive. Also, do the people using the code have to put their software as ppl?

As i said, collectives and singletons can use it for free. Non profit is of course included.

Yes, of course if they want to use your software they need to ship the software containing it under the same license, same as gpl. Otherwise google could make a nonprofit they control (ie mozilla) and relicense your sw to make it available for profit extraction.

Thanks for the clarification. It does sound like a good license
