    What does that even mean though? Like, you would retain the ability to sell and modify it but not a monopoly on free distribution?

    I think 10-15 years, i.e. the original copyright act in the US (14 years) is totally fair, and allow a one-time renewal if you can prove it’s still available for purchase and losing copyright would impact your livelihood or something.

      i left it open ended like that because there’s a lot of options….
      i’d probably start with selling, like after 5 years people are welcome to copy it and distribute it but not sell it…
      but i mean, a lot of variations are possible….
