Theme for 2024: more companies start inventing new "open source" licenses that aren't, and try to solve the freeloader problem by making "open source" mean "source available".

@geerlingguy turns out, open source is not a business model, it even evolves more competitors offering „your“ product.

After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind a bit.

A license to protect the business and releases the code as open source after a defined period may also be in the interest of those just using and contributing to the software without commercial interests

It really depends on the project, it‘s all about „cathedrals“ and „bazaars“.

As far as I know Bazaar is an Persian/Arabic word meaning "Market/Marketplace"
