We aim to establish open-source as a viable business alternative, readily embraced by projects and startups as a feasible means to build a sustainable enterprise. We create a self-sustaining ecosystem that remains faithful to open-source principles, obviating the requirement for concessions. We aim to: * Provide viable funding sources for projects * Reward contributors to enable them to sustain their livelihoods * Attract more donors and financial backers * Empower the community to influence projects * Promote increased decentralization and democratization (with the extent determined by the project) Moreover, this model holds the potential to be embraced by fully decentralized and democratic organizations that strive to create viable common good products.
