Holy shit this is a terrible idea. I can’t think of a better way to discourage people from using open source than to punish organizations for “not making meaningful contributions” to it. As a heavy open source user, contributor, and author, I’m begging you to stay the fuck away from regulating users. That’s the fastest way to destroy open source.
