I wouldn’t say it has to be money. Just that it has to be a formal exchange. I’d say the open source donation model is more “informal”.
I guess technically businesses like Microsoft were customers; I think there was something about them paying Godot to support C#.
As a Nintendo fan, this is pretty accurate.
Although getting joycon drift twice and then being able to play TOTK free from drift by pirating it onto my Deck may have finally brought the roots free.
I want my favourite Nintendo games to become open source or open domain. Why do we have to wait like a century for open domain? 20-40 years would be much more reasonable.
