The thing is, I'm not going to switch to CopperheadOS unless it has *many* improvements and may be sustainable in future.

It's essentially just barely sustainable now but developing major new features won't happen without significant funding for it.

Primarily not due to donations or sales, but due to having a license requiring companies to buy a commercial license.

If you found a model that works for you, that's great. Just saying Omnia showed success for a similar project w/ crowdfunding

I think your current model makes more sense for you. Most projects would probably need some funding to get to where you're at.

It's not FOSS though, it's open-source under a non-commercial usage license. It really depends on it being that way.

TBH, as a phone user I don't really care much. Being able to read the source is great. if I can tinker & rebuild, awesome!

It allows modification / redistribution and the sources are all available, just not "commercial usage" without licensing.

Planning on adjusting the model to require payment for our builds of the code for the first year that devices are available too.

Actually, Kickstarter would work great for you. Until the Kickstarter is fully funded, you'd just work on your partner stuff.

And, if your Kickstarter got funded, that's more leverage for negotiating more interesting contracts on better terms.
