Really curious if you have an opinion on how to get paid for OSS w/ permissive licenses. Is it just “consult/train/etc”, or something else?
I mean at this point we're really just discussing the normal consequences of capitalism.

I really just don't see how the alternative models capture nearly as much value for the creators of OSS than the salary model.
-
If we're really just saying "I can't figure out how to make a unicorn company from OSS" then sure, but stuff like 0L doesn't help there.
-
So you think it’s basically impossible to capture that surplus? No snark intended, genuinely curious.
-
I think that analysis also misses economic value created by people who contribute to OSS and improve their careers.
-
Something generally just seems fishy to me about the pure economic argument. I don't think most OSS is actually created this way.
