Your license is very weird: https://github.com/ask-fini/paramount/blob/main/LICENSE

    This file is part of paramount project, licensed under the GNU General
    Public License (GPL) for companies with fewer than 100 employees or
    fewer than 1000 invocations/month. For larger companies or higher
    volume, a commercial license is required. For more information,

I'm fine with companies not using open source licenses, but this is a very odd way to do it. Licensing something under the GPL doesn't work like this.

You should look at one of the existing non-open-source licenses like the Business Source License or https://fsl.software/ rather than modifying the GPL by adding an extra paragraph at the top: https://github.com/ask-fini/paramount/commit/8345edd8f776572...

Also, with a license like this it's not accurate to say "Paramount - an Open Source package..." - that's a misuse of the term.
