Wonderful thoughtful article on open source funding, by @feross. We're in an unfortunate state where many companies rely heavily on open source to extract sizeable profits (which in general I am fine with, TBC), but the people writing open source often struggle (this seems bad)https://twitter.com/feross/status/1166924812129722368 …
There's a nice phrase @timoreilly uses: "creating [far] more value than you capture". Healthy companies do this, while making a reasonable return. But open source authors often capture almost none of the (enormous) value they can create.
It'd be good to find ways for open source authors to capture more of that value, while retaining all the benefits of open source. @feross's essay is a great thoughtful survey of the problem!

Thanks for sharing, Michael. In case it wasn’t clear from my article, I’m also fine with companies using open source to make profits! Indeed my first startup was built on lots of open source. But the ecosystem is burning out maintainers and tons of code is abandoned. Not good!
Oh, I thought that was almost certainly the case. But I just wanted to make it clear in the (very restricted) context of a tweet.
