• core-js maintainer: “So, what’s next?”

  This problem has already been partially solved by Tidelift. He even mentions them in his blog post, they used to send him $1000 a month.

  Depending on the FOSS you use, yes. Eg, https://tidelift.com/ . Is it more convenient to find commercial/proprietary vendors instead? Or to use warranty-less software and pay for your own staff to track changes and be ready to maintain the software yourself? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• mold (linker) - Problem with my open-source startup

  Alternatively, companies like tidelift are trying to fix this; you may want to check with them if they'd be interested in adding your project to the fold, though I believe they are focusing more on libraries in library-heavy ecosystems such as java, nodejs, and python. Source: over 1 year ago
