Well, first of all I disagree that that's reasonable, but let's be clear here:
any license with a non-commerciality provision is not open source. This is explicitly part of the open source definition:

This is why Elasticsearch and Kibana are no longer open source; you have a choice of two proprietary licenses if you want to use their version.
