So a private company is taking a cut of each transaction headed to an open source project?
- piamancini 6y agoHi Chris! Open Collective Inc. is a for profit company, we develop and run the open collective platform, opencollective.com The Open Source Collective is a non profit, a 501c6 that gives fiscal sponsorship to projects so they can receive project directed funding. The value prop is having both the platform to receive and disburse funds transparently and the non profit that holds the funds, does compliance, reports taxes, etc.

- yyy888sss 6y agoIf anything, a platform like this could also itself be an open source project.
