I would like to propose SOSS: Sponsored Open Source Software.

If your company uses OSS, you sponsor the project $100/year.

Not per seat, or per team, just $100/year, all in.

- 30 developers using Ghostty? $100
- 300,000 engineers using tmux? $100, total

You audit the OSS you use (OSS tools for this would quickly emerge, $100, thank you). You set up a bunch of annual $100 sponsorships. Everyone wins.

This guarantees the longevity of that tiny piece of code propping up your bank.
