wouldn't https://github.com/sponsors/sudo-project achieve the same thing in this case?
That's great, I wish he had mentioned it .
That might be why he hasn't mentioned it.

Whenever people say that MIT or GPL licenses are a good idea I point out projects like this. Only humans should have freedom zero. Corporations and robots must pay.

It has a more lax license AFAIK. Also, many Rust projects and libraries have been abandoned, or are in so-so shapes. Edit: To specify, new projects like sudo-rs may seem promising, but going by observation and experience with similar projects, there is no guarantee that sudo-rs and similar projects will be successful, good and continued to be maintained. The problems with old projects can end up applying to new proje…
> Also, many Rust projects and libraries have been abandoned, or are in so-so shapes. This seems like a bit of a non-sequitur; the state of non-sudo-rs projects/libraries says nothing about the state of sudo-rs itself.

But also quite funny when you make the connection!
Perpetuating misogyny as the mascot of one of the most used pieces of software. Yay!
30+ years maintaining one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure on nearly every Linux and Unix system, and he's currently looking for a sponsor to fund continued development. Every company running sudo in production owes this man. Someone should fix that

This might be a controversial view: What if the exploitative aspect is open source itself? Trick some above average but naive developers into giving their talent, effort, insights and time away for free or very little? Maybe open source or something similar could have been organized in a way that wasn't exploitative and wasn't (possibly) unsustainable, but that is not how things ended up with what Richard Stallman an…
All of this is true, but ironically Free Software is about ensuring people have control over their computers, and Open Source spun the narrative to make it about getting software cheap or without paying at all. People having control over their computer (and even having the right to share what they run on their computer!) is completely compatible with people paying for software labor.

Look again at the xkcd comic (I did before posting the comment). The sandwich-making person is not obviously female, in fact he(?) looks rather male according to xkcd convention.

Uhm, how did Todd relieve himself in that costume?
Honestly he should open a Patreon. There are loads of people that would subscribe to Sudo for $2/month or $5/month.
