How Token-Based Licensing Supports Your Work
Your source code can still be available in the web a without having to worry about copycats.
You'll receive an income stream from the foundation of your code: getting paid when your source code is commercially applied while ensuring that forking and collaborations remain possible and your development efforts are not in vain.
Even though you earn from commercial applications, you still give back to the community by allowing free use for non-commercial contributions.
Increased recognition and transparency: The token model provides clear attribution and proof of ownership, enabling maintainers to gain visibility and respect within the community.
