BSD+1 License

[Bani]

Although the Open Source Definition doesn't say explicitly that you
can't have different terms applied to commercial software, I believe
that is the idea behind the "no discrimination" in the 6th clause,
quoted below.

"6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in
a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the
program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic
research.

Rationale: The major intention of this clause is to prohibit license
traps that prevent open source from being used commercially. We want
commercial users to join our community, not feel excluded from it."
