I think people who insist on FOSS are demanding too much. Your choice of license is very reasonable. Don't let the purists and freeloaders get you down. (No, I don't yet use Zerotier, but maybe I should.)
More generally, I like what you said a little while back in the thread about the Mighty remote browser [1]:
> (2) The hopelessly naive idea that "information wants to be free" and everything has to be "free" (as in beer) needs to die, be cut into a thousand pieces, burned, encased in concrete, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Nothing is free. Software takes a vast amount of labor to produce, and that must be funded. If it's not funded directly and honestly it will be funded indirectly and dishonestly (surveillance capitalism, cloud lock-in, etc.). "Everything has to be free" and piracy actually help push us toward a surveillance capitalist panopticon future.
That point should be front and center in all discussions on FOSS sustainability (or lack thereof).
