CREATIVE WAYS TO FUND OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Open source projects are often underfunded, leading to maintainer burnout, but innovative revenue models are starting to show up. The Wix Toolset uses an "Open Source Maintenance Fee," which charges users for issue reporting and pull requests based on company size, providing income for maintainers. Another example is Astral's uv package manager, which offers a free version and a paid, enterprise-focused registry called pyx with more features.
