I'm giving up — on open source - Blog
(nutjs.dev)
All about open source! Feel free to ask questions, and share news, and interesting stuff!
Community icon from opensource.org, but we are not affiliated with them.
This is why I completely support Redis and Elastic for their business source licenses, maintainers who :
and so on and so forth.
The OSI definition of opensource ain't gonna pay my bills.
Lobby your company to donate to opensource projects they use. Lobby for them to attribute an opensource budget. If you have money, set aside a budget yourself to donate to opensource projects. If you don't have money, but can code, have time, and the will, contribute to opensource. If you are non-technical and don't have money but use opensource, just promote it.
Whatever you are, be part of the solution and help opensource become a meaningful option to make a living.

I work in a state government and we can't "donate", but I have happily paid thousands for maintenance/support or hosted options. I appreciate when projects offer other ways to contribute.
That's great!
What kind of options, besides support do you think there are for things that cannot be hosted like command-line tools, libraries, frameworks, etc. ?
