Hi, I've collected many monetization approaches in the "Awesome OSS Monetization" list on Github - maybe it helps you to find alternatives to donations / sponsorships: https://github.com/PayDevs/awes

I don't know of an example but you should talk to a license lawyer and create a new license. Basically it's similar to "normal" Dual-licenses that say the code is GPL but you can buy a MIT license from the maintainer. In

I think the project has to have the funding already via donations or sponsoring - they state they can employ people "If your project has a sufficient amount of funding".

Thanks for the feedback - that explains the first part, although I'm not sure why asking questions every few days on a topic is promotion or spamming (other accounts post several links per hours). However, just as I mentioned in a dele

Thanks for the tip. But even then "somebody else got lucky" would be a very very big coincidence - the project is roughly 3 months old and wasn't mentioned recently. That someone decides - exactly at the same time - to share

The problem is not that someone postet the link - the problem is that the original link/post was hidden and exactly 1 hour later someone else postet it.

That might be right for side-project in the beginning but what happens when they grow and thousands or even millions use them? There might come a point when you have too much work and not enough time to fix the bugs or develop new feature r

As far as I understood tea.xyz it uses a DAO contract to "bill" every download/install by the user. If you don't pay (in tokens) you won't get the package. So the blockchain approach has a mechanism already in place

Slave labor is a little harsh as open source developers act on their own free will but I understand that it is a little loveless that some companies make billions without giving back. Making issues private (behind a paywall) is probable the

Do you mean approaches like tea.xyz by Max Howell ( https://medium.com/teaxyz/tea-brew-478a9e736638 )? It looks interesting but I'm unclear if project maintainers would monetize or only the package manager cli.

Yes the initial drive is probably always to solve a problem or make something cool. However, I often get the feedback that some projects get overwhelmed with feature or bugfix requests and loose the fun of it. Having the opportunity to live

You're right that the question alone might be misleading. I mean every company using your open source package in their development not only FANG etc. The local pizza shop might be using OSS but probably does not have a dev team of thei
