You can't carry a MiSTer in your Pocket, but you can Dock a Pocket.

It doesn't support a few power-hungry systems supported by MiSTer.

MiSTer doesn't support OG physical carts.

These kinds of things are a canary in the coal mine indicating an overall tone of the company that reflects through more tangible benefits and culture.

I wonder if there's a license pegged to some meaningful metric (a hard problem unto itself), that prevents usage if the dev fund/devs are not compensated an X amount in a specified interval.

Something like an SOS License.

    Support Open Source

    ...

    All development on this project will cease to exist if dev fund does not meet "DOL Software Dev CPI adjusted Blah Blah Salary" * Number of active/approved devs.

    Bugfixes will stop if dev fund falls below Y amount or something

    ...

Just some half baked thoughts, many conditions can be added or removed depending on the project structure/goals, but the underlying thought would be that Devs Get Paid is a key requirement in there somewhere.

Lots to consider here, but it's weird that no popular licenses have this as a clause in there - almost like it's frowned upon to ask for money?
