But let&amp;#x27;s move on.&lt;p&gt;Interesting idea for a license.&lt;p&gt;Everyone can use and modify it, but if a large company with a market cap above $100m or a company wholly funded or owned by such company decides to utilize this project as a for-profit service, then said large company must hire me at for no less than $175,000 in 2020 value.</text><parent_chain><item><author>EpicEng</author><text>&amp;gt;this big co strategy of &amp;quot;mine.

In this case, it would&amp;#x27;ve probable not changed the outcome, but could give the author some leverage for either compensation or mention. IANAL, but my understanding is that GPL would require you to keep the same terms and mention explicitly the original source.</text><parent_chain><item><author>EpicEng</author><text>&amp;gt;this big co strategy of &amp;quot;mine.
