  • openfare

    Micropayment funded software.

  • OpenFare does open the door to an alternative non-FOSS strategy for funding for small software libraries.

    Commercial payment plans defined in code can be managed programmatically. Which means that small payment obligations can be managed at scale. Consequently, trivial software dependencies could raise meaningful capital from micropayments.

    However, software for a fee is not FOSS.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
