What is the revenue plan for 99% of open source library authors?
- zoogeny 2y agoIs what you are insinuating that the only licensing model for independent MCP authors is open source? Are you assuming that MCPs are only viable as free (as in beer) projects? I feel like software license and business revenue models are only very loosely correlated. I guess if you are assuming there is no money at all to be made in MCP then my question wouldn't make sense.
- achierius 2y agoThe currently-dominant open source paradigm (i.e. motivated and well-meaning developers work themselves to the bone under pressure from tech giants who will never pay them) is clearly not sustainable. Moreover, many are probably not happy with their code being used (without permission) to train machines whose putative intent is to replace those self-same developers. Now the question is, how many will want to do something similar, again?
