A new MIT license*, that forces larger firms, to pay any none-zero amount to support OSS maintainers.

You probably have hundreds of packages. The main reason your firm don’t sponsor them today, is that it requires paperwork.

The non profit nudge.org will send reminders and enforce large firms to pay anything but zero.

For org admins we build a github extension “help.nudge” to calculate a recommended monthly invoice based on your dependencies. 100% distributed to maintainers. We will make it as easy as possible for your admin to pay it. Even easier than not paying.

Were building a prompt management tool internally, here devs and domain experts needed to work on the same files. Wanted to save the time to build a cloud backend for that, so was already doing that with git to get version management and good integration for devs, but had to build a couple workarounds. Yours looks a lot better. This could be huge.


exactly one of the usecases we have in mind
