A license wouldn't stop the unscrupulous people, they'll keep making clones of it and ignoring the license.

This means I have to start chasing any clones, engage legally and try to take them down. It's just not worth the time - I would rather spend the time on improving Monodraw instead.

To voice support for current state - do what you're already doing, and I agree on focusing on opening up the format.

Don't hesitate to charge for v2, if improvements pile up and you have affordances to do so. Will gladly pay.

It's pretty great already as-is. Thank you.

If unscrupulous people are willing to ignore the license anyway, wouldn't they just hex edit to change the branding to sell clones even while it's closed source?
