Note: I deleted >1000 words and decided to post a summary instead. Jacob Kaplan Moss slacked me his article today because he knew I’d like it, and we have both had ongoing conversations for years about open-source Funding. It’s worth reading. I mistakenly submitted the article to the orange website because I assumed someone else already had it. Oops. I support funding open-source projects. We are trillions of dollars away from providing enough Funding for open-source software before I have the patience to set through any debates about the right or wrong way to fund them.
