Title.

Don't really want to give my soul to a tech megacorps, but I do a lot of writing for work and hobbies, and sometimes carpal tunnel gets the best of me.

You are right-ish

They have a source-available license, which allows all modification and redistribution except modification and redistribution with commercial purposes.

How you feel about that is up to you. Personally I feel like allowing commercial usage of the code is actually a major blindspot with the normal FOSS licenses, as it leaves the doors open for TiVoization.
