We see that for open source projects, appropriate founding can be difficult to secure, even though people derive a lot of commercial benefit from it. It might be a good idea to get people selling stuff that includes an open source component to sell two variants: the normal variant and one which includes an open source contribution. This would make it much easier for people to support open source as it removes any payment friction: there is only the hassle to decide whether to support, not a new payment to be set up. And it could help that we ask for support at a moment where a customer is willing to part with money already.
