and if the open source project generates no revenue?
Like, if Y is controlled by the Y foundation which is in part funded by Z company, Y foundation isnt really getting a direct revenue stream from the software - thats the thing about open source software, you dont have a say in how its used, and you cannot force payment.
I think your read of the law on what is or isnt an internship is a wee bit of a hot take, but IANAL, and certainly not a UK Labor Lawyer.
- varispeed 6y ago> and if the open source project generates no revenue? For example 0.1% of 0 is 0 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage) Whoever gets the revenue from the software should be paying. Regarding any constructs with foundations and other tax avoidance schemes, that's probably another topic.
- Aloha 6y agoSo, basically, you're saying that if you make money from the software, you should be required to pay money to the copyright holders (aka, the developers). At that point, what sets aside open source software from any other kind of software?
