One option is of course to get a job in one of those companies that is a user of your project. You get to work on your and possibly other similar projects, and the company gets an employee they already in advance know is going to be skilled and relevant. If your code is very useful for some, it ought to be possible to harness its popularity to offset some of the potential negative side effects.
- bxk1 6y agoThis is pretty backwards in spirit. If you own the code, there is no reason to let any corporation use you like that. Just change the license to something anti-corporate if you started with too permissive one, it'll make it apply to all the new commits and force such corporations to pay for commercial license or stop using it. If you think they are willing to hire you to work on your project, they are even more willing to just pay for it.
