What alternatives do people have to monetize software in a more ethical way?
I particularly don’t understand the funding that some software receive. What they have to grant to receive those funds?
I also search for some type of monetization “model” better than donations, but more ethical than ads.
If it’s too much to explain I would be grateful for terms or books that I could search later.
thanks.dev and OpenCollective I think have had good concepts behind them. The main issue is that plenty of people have the same attitude/entitlement towards open source as if it’s a paid service or large company
