This is absolutely not an open source license https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0/

It violates point 1,5 and 6 of the open source definition https://opensource.org/osd

If you want free, Resolve will run circles around whatever open source thing you can find. No need for WGPU, it just runs the GPU.

Sadly, things like this just put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole concept of running code in a browser like this. It's buggy as hell. It doesn't run in all browsers. And I really have to ask why we think the browser is the place to run this. We've moved from Java and now to WASM in a browser, but only some browsers.

I think you selected the wrong license. Your license currently as written actually forbids _using_ the software for a commercial purpose, eg if someone monetizes a video edited using your software, they are in violation of your license, which is not what you want.

Look at something like the Hashicorp BSL [1] for inspiration on crafting a license that forbids specific commercialization of the software itself.

Any plugin plans? In case you don't know, there is a standard for it: https://openeffects.org/

Would you like to share your development experience? I suggest creating a CONTRIBUTING.md and enabling discussions if you are open to PRs.
