Is this really a concern though? In this situation, adding a dependency to your project means making a decision to divert some of your funding to them as well.

Is this really a concern though? In this situation, adding a dependency to your project means making a decision to divert some of your funding to them as well. It gives an incentive to avoid adding unnecessary dependencies.
- NameDoesntExist 6y agoWorkaround: fork all your dependencies with minimal if any changes and add them back to your main project. This allows you to cut-off the trickle-down funds in bad faith.
- OJFord 6y agoIf you're willing to do the extra maintenance of keeping them up to date (or else on the hook for their issues) ... maybe that's 'ok'? I don't mean that it's a service worth paying for, just that maybe it doesn't seem like it's worth the extra (presumably minor) cut of initial donation and people wouldn't really do it (more than once / for long / on a big project with significant donations) anyway.
