Yes. We (Fly.io) are buying a sqlite support agreement. We also send money WireGuard's way. I'm pretty sure Tailscale does too.
We have also given OSS authors advisor equity. A couple of folks wrote libraries that were important to keeping us going, and we've granted them shares the same way some startups would to MBA advisors.
That's a fantastic idea. In retrospect it's a really obvious idea but I've never heard of anyone doing it before. Is this a common thing that I'm just oblivious to?
