πŸš€πŸ’Έ Let's Talk About Open Source Monetization πŸš€πŸ’Έ

Hey folks πŸ‘‹,

I came across this amazing resource on open-source monetization: awesome-oss-monetization.

In most conversations I’ve had, there’s this common perception:

Open Source Software = Free

but should it?

What are your thoughts on monetizing open-source software? How often do you consider sponsoring, donating, or contributing? Have you ever thought about paying for OSS?

With many AI startups going open-source-first these days, do you see this as a sustainable model? I'd love to hear your experiences, opinions, or examples of monetization done right in the OSS space.

Let’s discuss! πŸ‘‡
