in my case, a lot of my code is currently MIT licensed.

some of my other code is "free for non-commercial use" (no, this is not 
due to dislike of commercial software, rather it is for sake of leaving 
myself as the only person who can currently directly profit off of it).

I had considered wanting to clarify it (there are some forms of 
commercial use I am ok with), but I couldn't find any clear or concise 
way to define them.

not that it really matters, as for now my server is down (and will be so 
for a while), so no one can get or use any of it anyways.


or such...
