Maybe I don't understand the complexity of licensing, but how would your
code be free for any usage including commercial, then? Commercial software
have their own EULAs which are exactly "other license" in your terms, no?
And if your code is used commercially without releasing the source code,
how would it be "always really free"?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
