    I don’t understand the purpose of this new license, and inventing new licenses has always seemed like a terrible antipattern to me. I’m content with GPL3 or Affero GPL3.

      GPLv3 is unusable for most commercial projects and it also stops distribution via app stores.

      MIT and BSD-style appears to be too open for them, then somebody else could take the code and sell it themselves as a UI middleware. It looks like they wanted a middle ground, where they could sell it, but nobody else could, while still allowing people to create applications with it.
