I like the idea. But it is missing something to actually get money out of companies, I think?
Because even when there are people in a company that are nominally willing to pay, there is usually so much friction/hassle to actually get money out of a company - that it most often ends up not happening for open source. Unless there is something that "forces" them.

- robmensching 1y agoYeah. My experiences with the OSMF is that companies won't pay for charity, but they will comply with licenses.
- pabs3 1y agoHmm, companies often use GPLed software without complying with the license (for eg Vizio is being sued right now), so I wonder why the OSMF situation is different.
- jononor 1y agoSome percentage will not comply. Either in bad faith or just lazyness/incompetence/accident/whatever. But as long as that number is relatively low and a decent chunk pays "their dues", it is not really a problem.
