It's probably helpful context that this repo is a startup who wants to act as a middleman for OSS monetization payments.
- "PayDevs is "Monetization as a Service" for open source libraries. At paydevs.com, we provide closed registries for OSS maintainers to publish their compiled software libraries (or built packages). We restrict access to these registries and collect a contribution from private and corporate users to fill a money pool that is distributed each month based on the number of users a library has."
- rozab 4y agoThat method for splitting income seems completely unworkable. Wouldn't this give the author of left-pad the lion's share? How is that fair?
- dtolnay 4y agohttps://thanks.dev https://thanks.dev has a good model for this. By default they'll split your monthly contribution equally among your dependencies (and exponentially decaying among transitive dependencies) but you can go in and "boost" or "unboost" specific dependencies or developers by up to a factor of 20 up or down. So if I have 2 dependencies which are equally important to my project but one is vastly higher effort to maintain, I can reflect that in the allocation.
