Re:Show HN: Fair Code with Blockchain and Open License on Thursday January 16, 2025 @11:08PM (#42733972)
## How it works (simplified) Model software licensing like music industry royalties: Put your "code" out there and charge for the commercial plays - also if it is used in recompositions.

1. Copy the license text into your project and accept the license 2. You accept the shoulders your work stands on. Accept the story points of the work you are building (forks, libraries) on for the revenue split. Otherwise change your dependencies. 2. Associate story points as efforts to your own work. 3. Mint a Code Token for your work. 4. Share the ID of the Code Token for others to reference and to issue Granted Licenses.

The logical increment of Open Source?

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes.. no NFTS are not for the free money thing. Key idea is to use them for source code that has value. It is to make the whole Open Source development that one can share the code, but commercial use still requires a license. Like the Server Side License of MongoDB... You have further ideas?

Thanks for the feedback- Yes - but Open Source Donations is begging and begging is not really sustainable... 95% of the projects get abandoned because of the lack of funding.... how to wrap and market that?
perfect for non programmers

That is a good idea. Makes books more fun

Ask HN: Advice for bootstraping an Open Source project with NFT based funding

Short: We want to lift software licensing to the Crypto level and enable all developers to generate NFTs for their developments. This would scale blockchain adoption to the next level.What: Developing a Smart Contract solution for Software Licensing called Open Token Compensation License (OCTL - https://license-token.com) .Goal: Developers getting paid in Crypto when their projects are applied...

That is also valuable to know...saves time and effort

Ask HN: Feedback required How to market NFT project to license source code?

We have created an implementation to allow open source developers to license their code via NFT license tokens ( https://github.com/open-compensation-token-license/octl)Now we search for advice howto make the project known, what is required for documentation and which functionality is required to make it known...What is your advice?
