This is a good idea. However, I think it is problematic that most open source usage is in the form of libraries. If a GUI leverages amazing open-source libraries, only the GUI author would be paid. Additionally, many closed source (GUI or not) projects leverage many open-source libraries.

It can be solved with the main app listing its oss dependencies - similar to dependencies in node package.json . the amount to be paid to the main project gets split based on the dependencies and weightage specified.
