Can I get your opinion on https://github.com/Judahmeek/frogs as an open-source maintainer?

Edit: https://judahmeek.com/p/we-need-frogs-to-defend-foss may be the better link to start with.

I don’t think there is a simple “fits-all” solution.

In my case there is a monetised proprietary “enterprise” edition of the projects available. Contributions only get accepted if they fit into the commercial roadmap, which is shaped by the (paying) customer needs.

It’s not perfect but the OSS “community” edition is still usable and valuable to many

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree that there's no "fits-all" solution & I think that's a good sign of the open-source ecosystem's diversity.
