So if they need some money, what is a better revenue model for them?
- charge some token amount of money to projects (harms the ecosystem, probably not a good idea)
- charge some amount for projects to host old versions, or for users to access old versions (same idea as the first, just less so)
- charge for access to source jars
- paid javadoc hosting
- rate-limiting for free users (the "file locker" model; particularly effective at convincing people sharing an office IP into paying up)
Any others?
