Isn’t the ultimate issue enforceability? For a dev to be awarded some of the profit made off an open source project:
- A whistleblower would have to discover, gather, and publish evidence that the software was being used to generate profit
- The dev would have to win a court case against the company
It would be fuckin rad if that happened and a dev got a huge payout and a legal precedent was set. But it’d be more rad if we didn’t live in a society where this was an issue in the first place :[
If this ever gets ported for NewPipe and/or LibreTube it’ll be sensational
The fact that it exists makes me happy :]
