Everybody wants to pay, nobody is giving them a chance to by providing sound means, trying to sell open source charity instead which the legal departments absolutely hates. It's not true that businesses don't want to pay, what they don't want is to donate. These are very different things.
there is sound means. open source business model is support.
LOL yes let's listen to a person who read a stupid opinion (im not saying you are stupid) on the internet and now propagates it everywhere he sees the "open source" keyword. If you read by comment i'm explicitly talking about software libraries, the only support you get for libraries is documentation. nobody listen to me nobody is selling support for small libraries which is what this post is about, on any meaningful level. prove me wrong
