At what point do we dual license / look to reasonably cover costs from commercial entities leveraging DIST? Making the plans for this clear early might provide reassurance that the nature of the project won't fundamentally change (or if it will a little what that might look like).
Some notes from kick-off discussions:
- True open-source method: the schema and taxonomy are free for anyone to use and always will be
- Commercial layer sits on top: auditing, validation, consulting are paid services
- "Allow" route → DIST free
- "Commercial" route → free schema + paid audit/validation
