I think it’s time we create a coalition of open source projects that band together and re-license in a way that requires that companies fund their dependencies. In my proposal, I’m trying to maintain as many of the freedoms of free software as possible (to run, study, modify, distribute), while adding simple license terms that force companies that use and make money off of the software to give back.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback, I’d love to make something work for a wide spectrum of projects!
