I like the physical source manifesto much better. Which actually addresses the _actual_ problem with monetizing open source: that people can just copy your project and send it to someone else.

I was thinking for a while now that a license like this was needed, the redistribution of copies seemed to me the main problem. It makes so much sense to tie the code to a physical medium.

I plan to use physical source on a future project. Thank you so much for sharing.
