Your opinion is at odds with the rest of the FOSS community though, and always will be. You can license your software however you feel fit for your project, but don't expect to get any traction from the Libre community when you do.
"Free as in Freedom" means a lot to people. Restrict that freedom and you're out.
I see you quoting "Free as in Freedom" but you seem to imply that FOSS also means "Free as in gratis". That is not true. FOSS does not grant you the freedom of receiving everything for free (gratis).
If it's a service, sure, but if you charge money for access to the software itself, that is non-free.
If Ubuntu charged money per seat for running a prod server I'd call foul. But I have no problem with Ubuntu Pro.
@BreakDecks FOSS allows you to charge money per seat. But FOSS compels you to pass the freedoms on to others, so essentially, they will pay, then they will get the software with the license which gives them the freedoms, then they can decide to share it further without any payment. It's no longer up to you. That's what freedom means.
The level of misunderstanding of OSS licenses is astounding, and dangerous.
