I really like this model of ”GPL3, but commercial licenses available”. Means you can have a sustainable business without sacrificing open source. I wish it was more widespread, the prevalence of extremely permissive licenses has led to so many enormous companies using open source without giving back.

We're building Slint as a business. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain and improve it. We're not looking to support users who want to use it in proprietary software and give absolutely nothing back, not even a small credit. That doesn’t feel like too much to ask. (Even the MIT license requires including a copyright notice.)

Honestly, it’s a bit sad that for some, using libraries for free isn't enough, they also expect to do so without even mentioning the project.
