what if we collectively paywalled corporations for access to open source software? 🤔
where authors joined a union of sorts and required a fee per month to the union organization for permission to use the software to "increase shareholder value". then the union redistributed the funds based on which projects were generating the income.
we'd create a community where the members are all motivated to maintain the software and contribute to member projects.
now tell me why this is bad and wrong.
