Introducing `funding`

Read Original

This article introduces 'funding', an open source experiment that displays non-tracking, ethical advertisement messages in the console during package installation. The goal is to create a sustainable funding model for open source maintenance, paying for developer time on features, bugs, and security. It details the experiment's purpose, how it works, current projects using it, and how funds are allocated.
