We have advocates at GitHub and are in discussions with their compliance team. Code Sponsor is not directly tied to GitHub for it to be successful. Many of our developers are making money through different channels such as npm or their own generated documentation website.

Most of those using Code Sponsor are very new. I can tell you that so far this month (Sept 11) we are payout out $511 USD to developers. Last month we paid one developer over $130. It's not life changing, but it's excellent supplemental income.

As much as I agree with the sentiment behind this post, I disagree with the implementation. The nature of open source code is collaboration. Paying for collaboration seems like it would hinder progress altogether and possibly direct the project into a direction that is not suitable for the poor majority not paying. One more thing that bothers me is that money for maintenance should not come from developers. This is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Disclaimer: I am the CEO of Code Sponsor (https://codesponsor.io)

Code Sponsor is trying to help provide those who are maintaining OSS projects with untethered sponsorship funds. They can go about doing their business on the projects and be making money through sponsor-based ad revenue. This provides them with the incentive and finances to justify continued support on those projects that end up being abandoned when unfunded.

I agree that this is a HUGE problem that needs to be addressed. Code Sponsor's approach is to go where money can scale: marketing budgets.

Thank you for making this available. Great job Mozilla!

Amazing article. A must read for anyone in the programming industry.

Regarding https://builtwith.angularjs.org/, It kills me how a page so important to the marketing of Angular is so poorly put together. The pagination wraps over the footer and if I go to another page and refresh, it starts over. I'm not an Angular hater by any means, but I would think that it might be important to at least have a clean experience when trying to market the framework.

We have a page that is being hammered out on ajax testing. It's just not quite there yet: https://github.com/emberjs/website/blob/master/source/guides...

Great job everyone!

Excellent explanation.

This really lowers the barrier of entry. I'm eager to use it.

Great job!
