Digging through comp.unix.sources of the 80s and 90s, it is bizarre and interesting how normalized it was to post source code with clauses to preventing non-commercial usage. These days, free software won so hard that non-commercial clauses are frowned upon, but it used to be just... normal to do that

@rq Do you mean clauses preventing commercial use? If not, then I'm really curious what kind of clauses you meant.
