i talked too much,
finally i asked the magic mirror for a draft,
see if someone may need too:
Creating a custom software license tailored to your specific requirements, especially one that involves a mix of open-source principles and commercial licensing, is a nuanced task that requires legal expertise. Below, I’ll draft a very basic outline of what such a license statement could look like. However, **this is purely illustrative and should not be used as a legal document**. It's essential to consult with a legal professional who specializes in intellectual property and software licensing to ensure that your license meets legal standards, accurately reflects your intentions, and is enforceable.
