Would this create a way for FOSS projects to charge SaaS companies for monetized use of software by offering a compliant version?

Could be an unintended side benefit given that as it stands FOSS is basically free labor for SaaS with the latter delivering a user experience that is significantly less open and free than the old closed source paradigm FOSS intended to replace.

FOSS + SaaS = less freedom than old closed source.



SaaS by itself is a total disaster on that front.
