plunge in and say "ANYBODY can use this (even Amazon!)"
I think most open source software actually say exactly that. GPL, Apache, MIT, all the mainstream stuff really.
This article may be an interesting read navigating all this, and filling in some historic context around the never ending quest to "monetize open source". I think some of the new licenses used by Redis, MongoDB, and especially Mapbox (open source and non-permissive), are quite interesting. Of course, whether such licenses can be considered "free" software is questionable, but to be free you have to first exist.

For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
