Let's say I want to make sure to donate to ALL open source projects I use in my company. Those in my builds as well as those used on our computers that are not build dependencies (e.g. Firefox, vim, Linux, ...).

How do I do that today? I collect a list of that software and contact hundreds of individual people and organizations, figure out the donation processes, fill out forms, transfer money etc.

I want this to be automated. I want this automation to build upon existing standards.

Does that help?

This proposal would lead (I suspect) to "enshittification" of the supply chain as people wrangled to be larger portions of the dependency/payment tree, eh?

Part of what makes FOSS work at all is that the motivation is not profit but benefit.
