these efforts are attempting to turn npm into a platform for monetization, but it's too low-level for that and the consumers of it are other programmers, who clearly aren't paying for jack. The consumer needs to be a customer of an actual thing (like a finished product), not the neat-shaped-nail that you designed that is 1/100000th of the finished product. Does npm already support commercial licensing of libs (I honestly don't know)? The most successful platform for open source money making is wordpress, as far as I can tell and by a very big margin. Wordpress powers thousands of real small businesses and is a massive informal economy all on its own. It is what success in the bazaar looks like as far as I can tell. I would love to document all similar platforms (wordpress plugins/themes, aws appliances, classic shareware/indy games, ????)
