I agree that the misleading/confusing text is in many ways the real problem. There are millions of proprietary licenses, and many organizations use "open core" business models. But calling it "Commons" makes it sound like this is from the Creative Commons Corporation, and the way they refer to Apache makes it sound like this is from the Apache Foundation. In addition, a lot of discussion about OSS refers to "the commons" - yet this "Commons" license isn't OSS. If they'd make things clear, including renaming things to make things clear, it would be <i>much</i> better.
