We currently have open source software with a BSD licence. The changes we want to make are as follows: We still want anyone to access, downlaod, change, adapt the software however they want. However, when they want to apply it to a commercial setting, then they need to buy a licence from us. The reason for this is that we are putting a lot of man-hours into improving the software. Is it possible to maintain our BSD licence, but just include a non-commercial clause/ "if you want to use this in a commercial setting, please email xxxx for a quote for a licence" Thank you Kind Regards Anna Hall
