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.
Please please please do not use the term "new MIT license"; it's extremely misleading. (Just like the extremely misleading Commons Clause was.) Also you should talk to the Fair Source people who have been working on this problem for years. https://fair.io/
