> Most folks doing open source probably aren't great at monetization. > I think we would do well to develop some systems for helping people monetize their thing if it gets popular. Very well put. And I think there is great potential as well. Especially businesses that aren't very tech centered need a trusted third party (eg. Oracle for their DB) that makes sure that (A) the project is still maintained in 15 years and (B) there is sb to call when there is a problem. Both things OSS can't usually provide. But businesses are of course willing to pay for that, they already do.
