The free download requires account registration, which will discourage most people from trying it. Even third-party login might make it easier, but I didn't find that option.
Thanks for your advice. I've reverted the license back to 1.0, adjusted the royalty rate, and made the royalty disclaimer more apparent in case someone says it contains a HIDDEN royalty :)
As a small team, we don't expect to make great money just by the royalty. We choose to open source this project for many good reasons. But the only reason of adding royalty is that we want to protect our work from being stolen by some other random guy.
The reasons to escape Flash are the performance and power-consumption issues, rather than accessibility.
If you take browser as a document viewer then accessibility is critical. However if you take browser as a universal application platform, then accessibility is not necessary, right?
If there is a VGG-native browser then accessibility is not so hard to implement. The awkward problem is that current VeryGoodGraphics is just a canvas node in HTML (using WebAssembly + WebGL). So adding accessibility support will be a nightmare technically.
My concern is, are GPL-family licenses good enough to let contributors involve with this project? Because I heard that GPL licenses are like viruses and someone hates them.
Or maybe dual licenses are good enough if one of them is Apache License (for personal use only)? This is what VGG License 2.0 does.
Does anyone have the idea of escaping from HTML/CSS? As these specs are too complicated and not friendly for web developers as well. Maybe we could re-invent a browser engine without conforming to HTML/CSS specs?
An (early) alternative spec/engine would be a Figma-compatible vector graphics spec[2] and its rendering engine[3]. It is called VeryGoodGraphics[1].

I need a transcript as the FOSDEM website didn't provide a one (404 not found), but youtube has.
