    Open source developers are not being paid. They published under licenses that allow zero cost and businesses won't pay.

    If you want to write open source code for living, you have to find a business model that works. In this case, it is even under permissive license.

    * code freeze - code is under open source license only a certain time after commit/release. Maybe add "support", aka you get security fixes in timely manner.

    * open core - put some features behind commericial door.

    * go ImageSharp way of split license. That one is fun, because MS deprecated/killed (throws exceptions on attempt to use) official image/font library and that was was intended replacement. Rather blatant offloading of costs.

    This has been rehashed several time (core-js recently https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02...).

    The gist of it is: Companies are not going to pay if they don't have to. That is the reality and it's not going to change.

    Open source: It sounds pretty nice. Open to everyone... But it sucks in general. People really don't care to contribute to open-source. (e.g. here). It is a really good resource for development but for people who don't know anything about development, it is not important. There needs to be some financial income / support for good open-source.

    Maybe you have a plan for sustainable developer under a permissive license. But it's important to think those things through ahead of time - you don't want to end up like the poor guy in charge of core-js who carried a significant chunk of the javascript ecosystem on his shoulders, but then became the butt of jokes because he dared to ask for donations.

    When you use a permissive licenses such as MIT, your software might have a better chance at becoming popular than if you had used a license that was copyleft or source-available. Except by doing so, you've essentially given up one of the biggest pieces of leverage you have as an open source developer, leverage that could have been used to make the project more sustainable. You don't want to end up like the poor guy in charge of core-js who carried a significant chunk of the javascript ecosystem on his shoulders and got jack squat in return.

    > A lot of companies would pay actual money for some semblance of supply-chain security.

    After the core-js debacle[0] earlier this year, it was evident that alot of companies actually do not care care about supply-chain security.

    Those that do will happily roll their own hosted repositories that provide little to no guarantees.
