[$] The sustainability of open source for the long term
The problem of "sustainability" for open-source software is a common topic ofconversation in our community these days. We covered a talk by Bradley Kuhn onsustainability a month ago. Another longtime community member, Luis Villa,gave his take on the problem of making open-source projects sustainable atthe 2019 Legal and Licensing Workshop (LLW) in Barcelona. Villa is one of theco-founders of Tidelift, which is acompany dedicated to helping close the gap so that the maintainers ofopen-source projects get paid in order to continue their work.
