[License-discuss] Ethical + Support license addition for Apache

[Ofer]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

What if I drop the ethics part and drop the 1$ support minimum?
The license will only require that users of the code will add themselves to
a file in the repo with the following fields:
  * Company/individual name
  * Description of how the software is used
  * Support amount (can be 0)
