GitRoyalty works for transitive dependencies as well (dependencies of dependencies) by ensuring users are subscribed to all transitive dependencies before installing the direct dependency. So in this way this model not only still allows bui

You're absolutely right this should not be a clause in our ToS. I've just removed it and notified all repository owners of the change. There was a misunderstanding of what 'Content' entailed on my part–it was meant to en

Very interesting thought–I'd love to see how this dynamic actually plays out. I personally would welcome more contributors v.s. doing their work myself. I think if a project maintainer were to act maliciously in terms of earnings share

We measure contributions using a project's git history (i.e. # of commits) every time a release is published. I realize this is terrible and it's my #1 priority to improve this after we get some engineers on board. I'm curren

This is a tough problem and something we're actively working on improving. I'm currently talking to the owner of SourceCred to see how we can use their protocol: https://sourcecred.io/

Great idea and you can do this with GitRoyalty! You can hide any files you want behind the subscription–it doesn't have to be the manifest or build script. So in your case you can hide a docs.md file.

I think companies will hop on board if it means saving engineering hours. OSS has monetary value to these businesses, enough to make a small subscription to support the tremendous development efforts behind it. In most projects, OSS makes u

GitRoyalty just hosts a git remote repository that you pay to get access to. NPM and almost all other package managers support installing from git URLs, and too many people rely on this functionality for it to ever be removed.

The problem with non-permissive licensing is that a lot of employment contracts strictly forbid them. That and commercially licensed OSS projects have no way to distribute funds to arbitrary contributors in a legally straightforward way. An

If the transitive project's owner agrees to letting anyone use your license key freely, we can certainly do this. However I recommend setting up your own project on GitRoyalty since we automatically replace your license key with a bund

Thanks Feross! GitRoyalty is an experiment that allows OSS project maintainers to hide a package’s manifest file (or build script) behind a monthly subscription. This way users will have to subscribe in order to install the package using de

Thank you ktpsns! You're exactly right, anyone can create free forks after accessing the complete repository once, but that becomes a security risk as new versions are released with bug fixes, security updates, etc. I think paying a sm
