Why non-commercial only license? Patents?

[nealmcb]

The current license for this code, which prohibits commercial use, is unfamiliar. Is it based on any well-known licenses?

Uber's recent practices seem to emphasize publishing via the Apache 2.0 license (What Every Engineer Should Know About Open Source Software Licenses and IP | Uber Engineering Blog). Using it here would likely result in this code gaining much more engagement with the community.

Why aren't you using Apache 2.0 here? Can you switch to it?

Is Uber making any patent claims associated with this code?
