It's probably best that you pay for legal advice from one of the creators of PolyForm. It looks like Kyle has time for consultation clients.

Unfortunately, most reviewers seem to have completely missed the point of the device. If you want high contrast and color accuracy, use an OLED. If you want to read outside in the sun, use e-ink.
Delayed Open Source publication (DOSP) is a concept established by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). It is in keeping with OSI's public-benefit mandate to "persuade organizations and software authors to distribute source software freely they otherwise would not distribute." DOSP ensures that if a Fair Source company goes out of business, or develops its products in an undesired direction, the community or another company can pick up and move forward. Will this be meaningful in practice? Again, time will tell.

I've been using a 13.3" Dasung Paperlike HD-FT e-ink monitor since 2020. The refresh rate is fine for reading and writing code, and most websites are easily usable in black and white. I normally use a terminal-based text editor in light-mode with syntax colouring turned off. It's not great for detailed videos, but sometimes it's good enough.
Dasung have since released 25.3" monochrome and color e-ink monitors, and a more portable 12" color e-ink monitor.

When I say dual licensing, I am referring to the business model of offering software for free under a non-commercial license, and charging for commercial usage rights. Kyle E. Mitchell calls this Free-and-Paid Dual Licensing.

To use such a business model you also need a commercial license. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, and it's normally something that requires input from a legal professional. Kyle has made a couple of recent efforts to improve things.

Both commercial and non-commercial users can copy, modify, and redistribute modified and unmodified copies. Again, there is no lock-in.
There's little incentive for the developers to switch from dual commercial/non-commercial licensing of the source code to only distributing compiled executables. The whole point of choosing the dual licensing model is that it's more attractive to customers. You wouldn't want to use such a model if you were trying to keep trade secrets, but in such a case you wouldn't consider using an open source license either.

Dual commercial/non-commercial licensing like this is a simple way to require commercial users to fund the further development and maintenance of the software.

There are two iterations of Sun Vision Display's 32 inch monitor, and Eyemoo recently released an Android tablet with an RLCD sceen.
I have the Eyemoo Epaper S1, and an very happy with it, despite a manufacturing flaw that caused a few sparkly dust specs to be between the screen layers. I use it with the built-in frontlight at 10-20% strength which is a good compromise between brightness and comfort.
You could use the Eisner Awards as a source of recommendations. Read the blurbs and preview pages of the winners and nominees, and select the book or series that appeals to you the most. For example, Ballad for Sophie was a recent highlight for me, and was nominated for four Eisner Awards.

Hearing how DC treats comics creators makes me want to boycott their future publications. Thankfully, there are publishers like Image that operate more fairly.
There's also a color RLCD tablet being released soon by Eyemoo. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35900620
Both displays refresh at 60Hz, and have 1920x1080 and 1600x1200 resolution respectively.
"In the graduation-speech approach, you decide where you want to be in twenty years, and then ask: what should I do now to get there? I propose instead that you don't commit to anything in the future, but just look at the options available now, and choose those that will give you the most promising range of options afterward."
