All this crap is not maintainers fault. Companies do not want to pay, this is the reason they use FOSS code in the first place. Do you want to force every single company that rely on FOSS to pay? Change your license. Stop using permissive licenses like MIT or BSD and license your project with GPL. Companies will have 3 choices: use your GPL licensed code and make their software GPL too, which they don't want to; pay you in a dual license scheme, so they can keep their code proprietary; develop themselves every piece of code they need. They don't want the first option, so they will pay you or they will pay an employee. In both cases, they will pay.
