"to help open-source developers seek compensation for their labor"
If a developer feels that donations are a form of "compensation", then they are not open-source developers. They probably also churn out shite that people shouldn't use.
An open-source developer is often one who makes money with a day job (probably doing similar) but then works on a project of passion to develop it "correctly" rather than under rushed deadlines or budget constraints. This process is its own reward and does not need "compensation". Yes, donations for beer are still very much appreciated but not *expected*.
I wonder what name we should give to developers who share their code (due to infrastructure requirements) but do not necessarily give any shites about it and just want money?
