Hi I'm Saoud, founder of Cline. We’ve been impressed with GLM-5.2 and so are introducing a $9.99/month subscription to give you 2-5x discounted access to it and other open weight m…

GitRoyalty works for transitive dependencies as well (dependencies of dependencies) by ensuring users are subscribed to all transitive dependencies before installing the direct dep…

You're absolutely right this should not be a clause in our ToS. I've just removed it and notified all repository owners of the change. There was a misunderstanding of what 'Content…

Very interesting thought–I'd love to see how this dynamic actually plays out. I personally would welcome more contributors v.s. doing their work myself. I think if a project mainta…

We measure contributions using a project's git history (i.e. # of commits) every time a release is published. I realize this is terrible and it's my #1 priority to improve this aft…

This is a tough problem and something we're actively working on improving. I'm currently talking to the owner of SourceCred to see how we can use their protocol: https://sourcecred…

Great idea and you can do this with GitRoyalty! You can hide any files you want behind the subscription–it doesn't have to be the manifest or build script. So in your case you can …

I think companies will hop on board if it means saving engineering hours. OSS has monetary value to these businesses, enough to make a small subscription to support the tremendous …

GitRoyalty just hosts a git remote repository that you pay to get access to. NPM and almost all other package managers support installing from git URLs, and too many people rely on…

The purple dollar value on the Discover page shows the Individual price of the repository, not the total profits.

The problem with non-permissive licensing is that a lot of employment contracts strictly forbid them. That and commercially licensed OSS projects have no way to distribute funds to…

We whitelist common dynamic IPs, for example CI, CD, and deployment IP address ranges including: * AWS * Heroku * GitHub * Circle CI (this whitelist is a WIP and I'm open to adding…

If the transitive project's owner agrees to letting anyone use your license key freely, we can certainly do this. However I recommend setting up your own project on GitRoyalty sinc…

Thanks Feross! GitRoyalty is an experiment that allows OSS project maintainers to hide a package’s manifest file (or build script) behind a monthly subscription. This way users wil…

> without at minimum ponying up a credit card and signing up for a free trial You're right, there's a bit more friction before you can install and use a project, but I think if a u…

Thank you ktpsns! You're exactly right, anyone can create free forks after accessing the complete repository once, but that becomes a security risk as new versions are released wit…
