• Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com

  2026-09-13https://seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-open-source-we-can-force-them-to/

  Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

Thankfully, better alternatives exist. They all add the dimension of time, and we can distinguish more useful tools by how they handle conflicts.
