Open-Source Developers Lack a License That Blocks AI Training and SaaS Wrapping Without Closing Source

Indie developers and open-core founders face a binary choice between fully open licenses that expose their code to AI dataset scraping and competitive SaaS wrapping, or fully closed licenses that limit community distribution. No widely accepted middle-ground license exists that allows community sharing while enforcing practical commercial restrictions. This gap forces creators to either sacrifice control or sacrifice reach.
