That’s weird. Opening your stuff but not allowing others to make stuff commercially for it?
Make something free for it then? The stuff is open and the license makes it so that it stays that way legally (though, in real life, it's different but that's another discussion) and any and all other contributions made to the project stays open source.
Can’t give away free ink, but can’t compete either. That was my point.
Can’t sell spare parts for a good price
