Open source developers and resellers uncertain about legal liability when commercializing freely licensed software

Developers and entrepreneurs struggle to understand the legal boundaries around selling or redistributing freely licensed (open source) products without substantial modifications, creating paralysis around potential business models. They fear legal consequences and license violations but lack clear guidance on what constitutes 'added value' or legitimate commercialization. Current solutions (scattered legal advice, license documentation) are fragmented and don't address the specific commercial scenarios they face.
