I am a developer in the midwest, and maybe if you hadn't completely missed my poin you wouldn't be such a jerk.

Nebraska is a reference to an XKCD Comic (https://xkcd.com/2347/). The idea is that there are nameless people all over the world contributing to critical open source infrastructure.

Back to the point.

Running Google Maps on one of my low traffic sites, would generate at most, several dollars a month in charges. It would be a rounding error in our budget, and we can't pay it. Our purchasing rules are not flexible enough to work with google.

Paying Google is hard enough, an independent oss developer with no company would be impossible. I would get laughed at if I suggested throwing a few bucks at a developers Patreon.

How does your company handle coffee? Surely there is SOME mechanism for small incidental charges, or how could your company even exist?
