I think a better solution (as a socialist/libertarian) is a license where the license itself has a foundation or union.
All companies using the license commercially pay 3% of their yearly income into the fund. With a cap of 10% (if using multiple libraries/source codes).
It's spread equally to all software devs using this license based on lines of code contributed. Worker coops using the license would be free use, but would still be required to register their usage, business structure, and purpose.
You'd continue getting dividends, but as more code is submitted if you never wrote another line of code your share % would drop as more and more developers write code.

- gremlinsinc 6y agoBecause the whole point is a worker-coop doesn't pay workers shit salaries. Developers make as much as the CEO, CFO, CTO, etc. Even the janitor, makes the same.
