You can also require that the creators of derivative works make a
similar patent grant to yours. Which would make the Open Source folks
happy while giving the commercial folks even more reason to commercially
license.
Hm. I guess nobody has worked out the maximally-restrictive Open Source
license. Oops, I've created a monster.
