There's donation, but I wonder what percent of users actually donate.
Also, what if people donate and there are various contributors to the project beside the main author(s)? Should they get a piece too?
- bovine3dom 6y agoWe [1] have received one-off donations from about 1-2% of our users. We get recurring donations from about 0.2% of our users. There are some caveats here that probably mean we get more donations than most: the software is end-user facing, people who use the software generally use it every day and really like it, the audience skews heavily towards developers and we invite donations prominently without it being annoying (I think - no-one has complained so far). As for deciding where funds go, most projects only have a handful of core contributors and it's very obvious which these are from how much they contribute. We just talk about it.
