+<p>The &ldquo;Commons Clause&rdquo; is a nonfree license because it
+forbids selling copies of the program, and even running the program as
+part of implementing any commercial service.</p>
+
+<po>Adding insult to injury, it also twists the words
+&ldquo;commons&rdquo; and &ldquo;sell.&rdquo; For further criticism,
+see <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/aug/22/commons-clause/";>
+Bradley Kuhn's article.</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>We urge people to reject programs under this license and to develop
+free replacements.  Where a previous version was available as free
+software, continuing development of that version is an option.</p>
