    I don’t want their money. Money means they’ll feel even more like they own it. I want them to contribute code to the projects and stop violating copyleft licenses and share the code they are creating.

      I wonder if this could be avoided by having companies pay into funding pools instead of paying specific developers. Something like the Sovereign Tech Fund, perhaps with different structures or selection processes, might mitigate any sense of corporate entitlement.
