And even there, imho Bob (iirc) from the video was right - I hate font awesome 5, and always install either version 4 or "fork awesome" in my projects.

I must thank you for your question, and must (embarrasing as it is) admit I was wrong.
I started a reply stating that one can no longer use <i> elements and must instead include svgs, but then I decided to double check - and found I was wrong all this time... Some minor details have changed, but mostly for the better. Their marketing is a bit annoying too, but that's the price of having a sustainable business model.
I obviously haven't checked version 5 in projects yes, but I guess I should now. So thanks for making me realise my mistake...

Those, then, would seem to be valid ways to organize such a project. Lord knows there is more than enough volunteer time available to achieve any project - if properly organized.
The only one I can think of right now would be Font Awesome 5 (via Kickstarter), which already was a very popular product with big name recognition and had a professionally run Kickstarter.
Pretty much ever open source project only survives because developers donate their own time, or companies allow their developers to do so.
