If you drop out of school, do it because you've found a better way to learn.

For example, an open source "community edition" could be treated as a freemium product and an OSS marketing could adapt a PLG playbook to help identify and nurture those who are good candidates for the "enterprise edition". Also, you have a community. They're in Slack or Discord, making pull requests, filing Github issues. You should be able to adapt the CLG playbook to help identify and nurture future customers from within the community.

Congress decided to grant limited "rights" to copyright holders as incentives for them create, not to protect their work forever, but in exchange for it to be widely available and eventually in the public domain.
That these incentives take the form of limited protections is a side effect. That the original purpose is often corrupted and delivered ham-handedly has more to do with politics than purpose.
If we argued from first principles, we could invent a better system, but that system would undoubtedly allow for ingestion and manipulation by AI.
