I read this several times and I have no idea what benefit this would serve or anything about it.
- lars_francke 3y agoLet's say I want to make sure to donate to ALL open source projects I use in my company. Those in my builds as well as those used on our computers that are not build dependencies (e.g. Firefox, vim, Linux, ...). How do I do that today? I collect a list of that software and contact hundreds of individual people and organizations, figure out the donation processes, fill out forms, transfer money etc. I want this to be automated. I want this automation to build upon existing standards. Does that help?
- carapace 3y agoThis proposal would lead (I suspect) to "enshittification" of the supply chain as people wrangled to be larger portions of the dependency/payment tree, eh? Part of what makes FOSS work at all is that the motivation is not profit but benefit.
