      It doesn't cover the ongoing costs though. Kickstarter makes sense to create a product that's then going to be sold to others.

      It kickstarts a business model. It isn't capable of sustaining projects without a viable business model though.

      Wouldn't that be a great way to do CopperheadOS? I'd strongly consider kickstarter finding a new version of CopperheadOS.

      We would still end up continuing if reaching the goal failed so there isn't a proper way to do a kickstarter campaign for that.

      It could be used to fund specific features, where developers are hired to implement them. Don't know if it would work out.

      For example https://github.com/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/451 … could be a small kickstarter alone perhaps with stretch goal for attempting to upstream it.

      The thing is, I'm not going to switch to CopperheadOS unless it has *many* improvements and may be sustainable in future.

      It's essentially just barely sustainable now but developing major new features won't happen without significant funding for it.

      Primarily not due to donations or sales, but due to having a license requiring companies to buy a commercial license.

      If you found a model that works for you, that's great. Just saying Omnia showed success for a similar project w/ crowdfunding

          I think your current model makes more sense for you. Most projects would probably need some funding to get to where you're at.

          It's not FOSS though, it's open-source under a non-commercial usage license. It really depends on it being that way.

          TBH, as a phone user I don't really care much. Being able to read the source is great. if I can tinker & rebuild, awesome!

          It allows modification / redistribution and the sources are all available, just not "commercial usage" without licensing.

          Planning on adjusting the model to require payment for our builds of the code for the first year that devices are available too.

          Actually, Kickstarter would work great for you. Until the Kickstarter is fully funded, you'd just work on your partner stuff.

          Could do a kickstarter for something like public availability of Pixel releases. It's just a lot easier to sell it as a product.

          Seems more fair too... people paying for it if they want it, rather than what we have now: a few people donate a lot and most 0.

          Crowdfunding could work for us. It would require a substantial investment of time and may not work out well though.
