Companies that use this software have billions at their disposal (often through creative accounting), and there is no excuse to not pay. Perhaps this could be based on % of the company revenue and then split similarly how artists are being paid their royalties. I think there is an opportunity for some big companies to redeem themselves and create such system and amend licenses so that it is ensured all developers are paid if company that is using the projects has revenue above certain threshold. Ideally this could be included in Github and other platforms on a opt-in basis (for developers), but in the future it should be enshrined in law. I'll vote for any party that will look into exploitation of developers.
