Reading their solutions is interesting; wanted to call out the following because it plays nice if you don't agree with their whole prescription:
Drew DeVault noted the same in So you want to compete with or replace open source.
I think having 'Open' in the name muddies the waters a bit though. The full name almost makes the project sound anti open source, which it isn't.
I think it could be a great solution. I've never considered it before. That said there's one sticking point for me:
That^ . That needs a lot more detail. If they provide solid details -- details that most can agree on -- then I will actually be on board with the solution.
Yeah, translating "size of their contribution" to a dollar amount is going to be inherently political. If they're leaving it open ended to let projects figure it out then that could go poorly...
