BOLD IDEAS FOR FUNDING OSS:
1. THE GITHUB STAR REGISTRY: NAME A STAR AFTER SOMEONE SPECIAL!
- "STAR 179,063 on tensorflow 'JESSICA'"
- "THIS COST HOW MUCH?"
2. MERGE CONFLICT PAY-PER-VIEW!
- "OHH! THAT'S A BRUTAL DIFF"
3. OBFUSCATE YOUR CODE, THEN PAYWALL YOUR DOCS
- "STUMPED YET? SUBSCRIBE TO OUR ONLY FUNCTIONS™"

4. REPLACE OSS FOUNDATIONS WITH MLM SCHEMES
- "THEN IF EACH OF YOUR MAINTAINERS SIGNS UP TEN NEW MAINTAINERS..."
5. AMAZON SPONSORS ALL OSS PROJECTS IN PERPETUITY
- "YOU WORK FOR US NOW. HERE'S YOUR PEE BOTTLE"
6. STRAIGHT-UP BRIBERY
- "I'LL GIVE YOU $50k TO MERGE MY MALICIOUS PR."
- "BUDDY, FOR $0 YOU CAN TAKE OVER THIS WHOLE CURSED PROJECT."
