我正在寻找一个许可证，允许那些免费/非商业性地使用我的软件的开发人员免费使用我的软件，但那些发布商业软件的人需要购买许可证。 我一直在看GNU许可证，但他们似乎都是免费的商业和非商业用途。
我的情况是什么常用的许可证？
I am looking for a license that allows developers who release their software freely/non-commercially use my software without any cost, but those who releases commercial software needs to buy a license. I've been looking at the GNU licenses but they all seem to be free for both commercial and non-commercial use.
What are the commonly used licenses in my case?

对于你的问题可能没有普遍的答案，你可以通过创建你自己的软件许可证（由于你限制商业用途而不能像免费软件定义中那样免费 ）来做到这一点，或者你可以尝试实现类似的双重许可以下：
公共和免费提供的软件可以通过免费软件许可证获得，并具有GNU Affero通用公共许可证（AGPL）等强大的copyleft。 任何使用该软件的实体必须在相同许可证下发布源代码并更改其所有用户（互惠，ASP漏洞关闭）。
通过选择开放软件许可证（OSL），您甚至可以使软件可用性与大多数开源软件不兼容。 在这种意义上，它与大多数现有的开源软件（第一手GPL涵盖了开源代码的最大份额，但也包括许多其他软件）并不兼容，并且在使用（甚至是作品的交流）方面也有很强的版权保护，所以它非常有限。
你实际上会表示：不要使用免费版本 - 这在道德上有点可疑。
由于（如果）这不适合您所询问的商业用途类型，那么您可以提供第二个用于商业用途的许可证。 如果有人抱怨，你可以告诉他们，嘿，这是免费软件。 不好的举动，但可能工作。 向你的律师询问详情，这个变体可能不是你想要的，你不会为自由软件社区做一个忙。
相反，你需要找出你真正想做的事情。 是否限制商业用途。 完成之后，请与律师谈谈，为您的工作创建合适的软件许可证。
There can be no general answer to your question, you either do this by creating your own software license (which can not be free as in The Free Software Definition because you restrict commercial use) or you can try to achieve something similar with dual licensing as following:
The public and freely available software is available under a free software license with strong copyleft like the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). Any entity making use of the software must publish the source and changes to all it's users under the same license (reciprocal, ASP loophole closed).
You can even make the software practicable incompatible with mostly any open source software by choosing the Open Software License (OSL). It's incompatible in this sense with most of the existing open source software (first hand GPL which covers the largest share of open source code, but also many others) and has strong copyleft by usage (communication of the work even), so it's pretty limiting.
You would actually signal: don't use the free version - a somewhat morally questionable move.
As (and if) this is not fitting for the type of commercial use you ask about, then you can offer a second license for commercial use. If someone complains you can just tell them, hey it's free software. Bad move, but probably working. Ask your lawyer for the details, this variant might not be what you're looking for, you won't do the free software community a favor.
Instead you need to find out what you actually want to do. Restrict commercial use or not. After you've done that, talk with a lawyer to create a fitting software license for your work.
