   Cool, cool—another "how do we do open source funding" thing that... never even presents "we're paying developers for their value" as an option, just endless variations of questions about charity, donations, and "contributions".

     @shaver @glyph but also on re-reading: I don't think "paying for value" is actually what's going on? Mostly it is receiving value but paying for vibes, which makes the payor feel good but (for a variety of reasons) doesn't line up to an overall sustainable ecosystem.

     @luis_in_brief @glyph if you get something in exchange, it’s not “giving back”, it’s just “paying for it”! pay for value! ask your sales team if you need someone to draw a picture!

     @luis_in_brief just mentally visualizing the "we're 'giving back'" free square in the middle of the bingo card
