The section defining "sell" raised a question:

“Sell” means practicing any or all of the rights granted to you under the License to provide to third parties, for a fee or other consideration (including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software), a product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software.

The relevant section of that paragraph being the following:

to provide to third parties, for a fee ... consulting/ support services related to the Software

That sounds like I couldn't offer consulting specializing in software that uses the Commons Clause.

For example, if this clause were applied to something like MySQL, I wouldn't be able to offer services like:

• Pay me X$ and I will install and configure a MySQL server.
• Pay me X$ and I will fix your broken MySQL server.
• Pay me X$ and I will consult you on what sort of MySQL server you need for your business.

Question: is preventing examples like I listed one of the goals of the Commons Clause?

I think the motivation for the Commons Clause in general is well explained, but it would be useful to expound a bit more on what the reasoning is in having the "consulting/support" clause. More details would be helpful in understanding motivation and intent for companies who want to use this license addendum.
