What I like about Laurie Voss (npub1yrg…9cez)’s plan to remunerate open source devs is — apart from it hasn’t been tried and might actually work — it acknowledges that companies actually struggle to pay for FLOSS even when they would be fine doing so: https://seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-open-source-we-can-force-them-to/
you’re halfway there just finding something that looks like it could send them an invoice — and package registries are definitely that shape
