Well, I agree but no solution in the horizon yet. Yes, the companies which profit from open source "should" fund the open source. But nothing forces (or even reminds) them to do so.
- mbrodersen 5y agoWhy should they? The developers giving away their work for $0 are telling the world that their work is worth $0. So why should the companies pay more than $0 for it? That doesn’t make sense at all.
- seqizz 5y agoSorry just saw this. But "worth" is not calculated by money every time, no? E.g. we're not paying for oxygen while breathing but I wouldn't consider "weather costs $0 so it is worthless". But (continuing from the same example) if the weather is being hard to breathe due to pollution, I seek some action to fix this situation. That was what I am trying to find out, how could one enforce some payment out from this system, but can't see any workaround yet.
