There's a lot to talk about in this week's #Linux and #opensource news video: the fundamentally broken #FOSS funding model, embodied by the troubles of core-js, the demise of Mycroft, leaving their backers hanging, @thunderbird redesign, Real Time #Ubuntu being announced, or the release of @kde 5.27, and a lot more!
So, let's dive in:
@thelinuxEXP, @niccolove made a similar video about #FOSS funding that made me contemplate the issue and make multiple toots (sorry, I know you hate the slang).
I really think there needs to be (and maybe there already is) a BSD/MIT style of license that stipulates if a commercial organization is generating <n> significant digits of profit annually, then that organization is compelled to contribute, in a recurring manner, code maintenance or direct monetary compensation of a maintainer.
