The way I do it in my SaaS app is there is an "attributions" page. On it I have a list of all OSS software I've used in both frontend and backend.

- blacksmith_tb 4y agoI like it - though it'd be hard to resist aliasing /attributions.txt to /lawyers.txt ...
- agluszak 4y agoUnfortunately a mention in the "attributions" page won't pay the OSS developers' rent.
- nerdawson 4y agoIt's more acknowledgement than is required to use most OSS. If the OSS developers want to generate revenue, there are plenty of paths they can follow.
- jrochkind1 4y agoIf you want people who use the software you develop to pay you to use it, you should not release your software under an open source license. You probably already knew this, I don't mean to point out the obvious. I am just confused by your comment, and others like it that frequently come up on HN these days. People saying or implying that there is something unfair about using open source software under the license terms that its developers have chosen to release it.
